Catching up with Korda – Alumni story
Korda was Vice President of 3 programs at Legacy High School, in North Las Vegas. Korda joined JAG Nevada as a sophomore, which was a rocky first year of high school, due to COVID.
“I was stuck inside my comfort zone, and I didn’t want to try new things. I didn’t know what I wanted in life.” That quickly changed when Specialist Hanna Andersen joined the program.
“She gave me the motivation I needed to try new things. She pushed me to be my better self, to always thrive, so I was able to find my career as a medical assistant.”
Korda credits the experience at the National Student Leadership Academy in Washington, D.C., as a turning point.
“With this opportunity, I was able to network with other JAG students across the United States who had the same story as me. I was also able to represent Nevada on a national level by speaking to Nevada senators and representatives about how JAG offers so many life-changing opportunities.
“The things that I have learned from JAG, I will always carry them with me to encourage younger youth to join the program so they can also find their starting point.”
Thank you, Korda. We wish you great success in your career and in life.
