    I had the pleasure of having Katrina Schroeder as my shadow at the Capitol. She was formerly the President of the Youth Advisory Council for the Department of Children & Family Services. She spent 12 years under the care of DCFS and got her college degree. Now she’s a transformational speaker, helping people find freedom from inside out.
