Gabriella Carmona
Gabriella Carmona is a Senior Research Analyst. She rejoins the team after previously serving as a Policy Analyst within our Mobilization Department (2021 – 2022) and a Graduate Student Researcher (2022 – 2024). In her current role, she supports the institute’s burgeoning research portfolio on Housing and Latino Wealth Building. Previously, Gabriella has served as a Senior Policy Associate at New American Economy (NAE), where she supported a network of over 100 cities, counties, chambers of commerce, and nonprofits with original research, best practices, and direct technical assistance to support the development of multi-sector immigrant integration plans.
Gabriella leverages urban design and policy as an opportunity to combat social and economic injustice — from democratizing data that brings to light spatial disparities to empowering communities with the tools to redesign their neighborhoods. She completed her master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning at UCLA in 2024, with a concentration in Urban Design. Her capstone combined qualitative analysis and a novel quantitative methodology for better quantifying Latino housing insecurity in California. She holds a B.A. in History and Political Science from Williams College and was an undergraduate Mellon Mays Fellow.
