Roxana Gomez, director of policy and systemic advocacy
Roxana Gomez (she/her) joined LCYC in November 2024 as the Director of Policy and Systemic Advocacy. As a first-generation American, proud daughter of Honduran immigrants and a lifelong Washingtonian, Roxana approaches public policy and systemic with intentionality and purpose. Roxana learned early in her life that where you live heavily affects your health outcomes; this awareness pushed her to study the social determinants of health at the University of Washington, where she graduated with a BA in Public Health. She later took her knowledge of impacted communities and lived experience to local and statewide politics. She most recently worked at the ACLU of Washington, where she led on education equity and juvenile justice issues statewide and lobbied on youth policy, policing, and criminal legal reforms in Olympia. Prior to ACLU-WA, Roxana served as a Legislative Assistant to a Seattle City Councilmember.
When not roaming the halls of legislative buildings, Roxana enjoys cooking, cycling, and thrifting. She lives in Normandy Park with her husband and aussiedoodle, Theo.
