JIRA SMITH

Senior Research Analyst

​

Jira received a B.A. in Human Biology at Stanford University during which she concentrated in the study of “Reducing Health Disparities Through Policy and Economics”. Fittingly, Jira is very interested in how policy can be enacted in order to improve the welfare of marginalized members of a community. Jira is continuing her education by pursuing an M.A. in Public Policy at Stanford through which she will explore the impact of health and education policy on youth.
