I'm a longtime researcher focusing on #California #budget, #policy & #politics in my day job, with the goal of advancing policies that help all Californians be healthy & thrive.

Interests include:
- #health4all

Latin American politics is also my thing, mainly #Mexico.

I have a PhD from #UTAustin and a BA from #SacState.

I'm pro-democracy and pro-facts, and I don't like sore losers. #CABudget #CALeg
