## MY STORY

After high school, I participated in a City of Shreveport Community Development educational program that changed the direction of my life.

That opportunity opened doors to careers in the legal field, healthcare, and ultimately the Mayor's Office, where I gained firsthand experience in how city government operates on a daily basis.

I know what opportunity can do because I lived it. Every young person in Shreveport deserves the same chance to succeed.
