Ilanit Turner is a former policy scholar for Keep Texas Texan and Alliance for Opportunity at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. She has also written for Right on Healthcare, Right on Crime, and Life:Powered.

She started working at the Foundation as an intern and has been featured in The Cannon Online for her research on conservative healthcare policy.

She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Plan II Honors and a BSA in biochemistry. While at UT, Turner was a St. David’s Neal Kocurek Scholar.

When she is not whipping together incisive policy analysis, she is probably on her daily five-mile run through the hills of her hometown of Austin or traveling and practicing her Hebrew, Chinese, or Spanish skills.
