Editing Irina DiSanti, PI (section)

=='''Psychological Profile'''==

Irina’s a thinker.  She prefers to think things out, sometimes to death, to uncover all the angles.  She loves puzzles and word games, mysteries and tracking down clues.  Her father shared this bent as a NYPD Homicide detective, and when she was growing up, he would share parts of his work with Irina over dinner.  Nothing from current cases he worked on but elements culled from many different cases and presented as a hypothetical crime with a clearly defined victim, perp, and means, motive and opportunity. <br><br>  

Irina is stubborn and at times can be an extremely driven individual. She pushed herself to her limits pursuing her dream of being a Detective in Homicide, in a competitive professional environment in a crime-ridden city, in as short a time as possible even as she stinted nothing in her performance as a beat cop.  She achieved her goal and had a good run before being sidelined by a job-incurred injury.  Recovering from it was something that she could not completely overcome, despite her iron will to succeed and after a year of chronic illness, she was retired from the force on disability. It was a crushing blow but Irina didn’t take it lying down. She picked herself up and despite her illness pushed herself to complete her training for a private investigator’s license. It was in that capacity that she got a job offer in Natchez and seeking a change of scene, she took it.
