Paloma Jourdes is a recent graduate from Northwestern University who majored in Social Policy with minors in Global Health and Data Science. Paloma was introduced to implementation science during her sophomore year of college, when she conducted qualitative research to understand how to implement strategies to deliver equitable and reliable healthcare for underserved communities with chronic illnesses. She hopes to pursue a career at the intersection of healthcare, education, and research, where she can help bridge the gaps in healthcare and address community-specific needs within maternal, perinatal, or reproductive health. 

In her free time you can find Paloma cooking, spending time outdoors, or hanging out with friends. She is excited to join the BRIDGE team and support Drs. Hannah Frank, Margaret Crane, and Rani Elwy's projects.
