Today, Chida, 38, is Gov. Gavin Newsom's chief deputy Cabinet secretary, a key member of the team building an ambitious plan to reshape public education through a $50-billion continuum of services to create a healthy foundation for children and a path to meaningful jobs at the end.
He is driving Newsom's Master Plan for Career Education, set for release this fall, that would help high school students explore potential careers, build job skills while earning academic certification, and access greater state financial and counseling support.
"I want to be a good, kind, authentic person to everybody," Chida said. "But I get stressed and overanxious. And the way I behave is embarrassing."
