The stories of the people who make up Bridges are rooted in relationships that lead to success at work.
Bridges draws on the support of community resources and families to bring together young people and employers.
My favorite teachers at Albert Einstein High School knew I loved computers. They encouraged me to put that love to work. That's how I became a participant in Bridges.
I was very excited when my Bridges Employer Representative helped me find my job as an Office Automation Clerk at the Food and Drug Administration.
One of my duties is helping the Head Computer Technician to take inventory of all the computers. There are thousands of them here. I also like talking to vendors about new models and comparing prices.
I've been here three years now, enjoying my job and feeling great about helping support my family financially. I have my own office too. And I still remember the teachers who believed in me.
