Lourdes Gonzalez has over ten years of experience in the public health sector as a researcher and more recent training as a designer. Her projects include a new research methodology recently published in the International Journal for Environmental Research and Public Health that centers on black and brown youth as researchers and a manuscript that highlights a novel clinic-based intervention to address barriers to food access currently in press in the Johns Hopkins University Journal Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action. Her work helped ensure telehealth coverage for federally qualified health centers under Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. In all her work, Lourdes maintains her focus on the people and communities she works with by leveraging data frameworks in data visualization projects. These aims situate her perfectly in current role as a writer and designer on the Publications Team.
