Natalie Gallardo

Research Assistant

Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services

Natalie graduated from Chapman University in the Spring of 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and a double minor in Sociology and Law, Justice, and Social Control. While at Chapman University, she worked on Chapman’s Annual Survey for three summers and studied the implications of fear of government corruption on voting turnout. Through her research over the years, she has observed the inequalities that marginalized communities encounter in the political world and in their mental health care. She hopes to contribute to meaningful discussions and solutions to these issues.
