Karla Reyes

I’m a graduate student in the Gerontology program at California State University, Long Beach, and I recently completed my first year. I bring over ten years of experience in social work and advocacy, with a focus on supporting at-risk and underrepresented adults. My passion lies in advancing health equity and ensuring that older adults are able to thrive both at home and within their communities. I’m excited to be interning with the Center for Successful Aging to deepen my understanding of how to better support older adults. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new types of food and hiking in local parks.
