Dr. Partida is a dear family friend and one of the most personable doctors in the game. When the world went on quarantine, we knew we had to get Carmen on the show.

Cristina is the Assemblywoman for Assembly District 58, which serves several cities in southeast Los Angeles. The Educated Guess reached out to Asm. Garcia because she is not only a fierce advocate for her constituents, but she’s also a former high school math teacher. Her calling to politics was simple. Elected officials from her hometown of Bell Gardens were corrupt. If there is one way to characterize Cristina Garcia, it’s that she does not take her office for granted. You will hear a...
