Jesús Flores Rodriguez (he/him) was born in Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, México. He came to the United States with the rest of his family to seek better access to medical attention for his older sister. He grew up in Los Angeles, where, despite his language barrier as an ESL student, he managed to graduate with high honors from UC Davis in 2017 with a B.A in Political Science. While at UC Davis, he was part of the founding staff of the AB540 & Undocumented Student Center and participated in the Dream Summer in 2015. Inspired by his family's experience navigating access to healthcare in California, he created a resource guide outlining health care access opportunities for undocumented and uninsured families in the Sacramento and Yolo counties. His passion in immigration law led him to become the first undergraduate intern and research assistant for the Unaccompanied Minors Project at the UC Davis School of Law.
