Julissa Gonzalez

I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Community Studies with an emphasis in Health Justice from University of California, Santa Cruz. During my undergraduate career, I worked as a mentor/tutor at Community Partnership for Youth. This role really helped understand the power and role of community building on the path towards a more equitable future. 

I began working at Santa Cruz Community Health in 2020, through my field study placement for my Community Studies program. As the current Outreach and Enrollment Specialist, I have the pleasure of supporting our patients as they navigate through social service programs and community resources. My goal is to act as a bridge between community, education, health, wellness, and our patients to improve their quality of life.
