Project Director, National Agricultural Workers Survey, JBS International Inc.
I am the Project Director of the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) at JBS International Inc., an employment-based, random-sample survey of U.S. crop workers that collects demographic, employment, and health data in face-to-face interviews. My research interests are Immigration and Labor economics. I was formerly Senior Statistician at the Center for Healthcare Policy and Research (CHPR) at U.C. Davis where I acted as lead quantitative researcher on statewide evaluations of mental health intervention programs funded by the California Department of Mental Health Services.
