Monique brings extensive experience in program management, health education and cross-sector collaborations in the areas of HIV/AIDS, youth development, and sexual and reproductive health. She has a background in mixed methods research through the lenses of health equity, the intersection of race and gender, and cultural humility. LOHP’s Social Justice and Worker Health seminar and her time as a member of the LOHP Academic Advisory Committee crystallized Monique’s interest in healthy jobs as a determinant of health. Joining the LOHP team is a realization of that commitment to safe, healthy, just workplaces. As part of the community engagement team at the CA Labor Lab, one area of Monique's work as the Lab's Community Engagement Coordinator, focuses on the development of a research-to-practice toolkit to support research teams in engaging with communities throughout the research process and ultimately ensuring that their research has an impact on improving community health. The Lab's community engagement efforts also includes strategic planning, convening a Community Engagement Board and ensuring that vulnerable worker communities are engaged in guiding the work and research of the collaborative.
