Biography

Karina Muñoz received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Northridge, in 2019. As an undergrad student, she volunteered to assist underrepresented students in acknowledging their oppression and daily struggles through art. Karina was also a caregiver for her grandmother, who instilled the values of compassion, empathy, and courage. After graduation, she worked with children in a subacute setting providing emotional support and a sense of safety. This is where she discovered her passion for advocating for those less fortunate and disadvantaged. Karina then went on to become a pediatric and geriatric social worker for patients dealing with respiratory issues and supporting patients in acclimating to their new lifestyle. Karina is driven to provide aid to patients while establishing connections with their families; therefore, she is excited to contribute to the mission of Olive View-UCLA Medical Center.
