Lizzy Gomez

Lizzy (she/her/ella) is a proud Chicana, Queer, first-generation college graduate. She earned a BA in Ethnic Studies and Critical Gender Studies from UC San Diego in 2013, followed by a Master’s in Higher Education from the University of Vermont. Lizzy’s career in Residence Life has taken her across the country, serving diverse student populations.

Outside of work, Lizzy enjoys reading, painting, and traveling with her dog Stitch, who’s always excited for their next adventure. During downtime, she can be found cooking, crafting, or reconnecting with friends remotely.
Art, especially painting, has been a lifelong sanctuary, helping Lizzy explore her identity and culture. Today, she uses art to celebrate her Queer Chicana roots and invites others to share their stories and hope.
