As a child, Ansa Joseph dreamed of working in law enforcement.

But after she graduated from Cudahy High School in 2019, Joseph’s dream felt out of reach. She and her family had immigrated to the United States from Kerala, India, a few years earlier, and Joseph was unsure how to pursue such a career, especially in a new country.
