PROJECT: A toolkit used in medical education settings to increase LGBTQIA+ youth and adults’ access to sexual and mental health services and gender-affirming care.

Zurisadai Inzunza is a second-year MPH student at UCLA Fielding School of Public Health in the Community Health Sciences department. Their community’s experience and lived experiences as a non-binary Latine young adult navigating health services in the Inland Empire, drew them into the health care field.

During their time as a clinical leader at a student-run free clinic in Tijuana and conducting their senior thesis on LGBTQ+ medical education, they were able to solidify their passion and interests in public health. They hope to continue addressing health equity for minority populations in practice, research, and advocacy in their local and global communities.

Inzunza currently serves as a UCLA FSPH EDI Fellow, Secretary for Community Health Sciences Student Association (CHSSA), UCLA LGBT SRC Advocacy Committee Member, and Social Services Navigation Co-Chair for the UCLA Mobile Health Clinic Project.

Inzunza is a first-generation student who graduated from UC San Diego with a bachelor of science in Global Health.
