Hunter Miles Davis found himself at the National Park Service when he came across an internship opportunity through the Greening Youth Foundation in 2018. He knew he wanted to do something with music and decided to take a chance and apply. He was attending Hampton University at the time. The job was at New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park as a music interpreter. Upon completion of his internship, he would be eligible for a Direct-Hire Authority, which allowed him to be considered for a position at New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park. This was during his sophomore year of college. He remembers how he had flown down there with his mom. They had visited New Orleans for the first time during Christmas the previous year. While one barrier that might have prevented him from taking this summer job was housing, this job offered it, so he took this 3-month internship.
