She passed the bar exam in her home state of Texas, where she practices as an attorney at the Law Office of Domingo Garcia. While attending law school, Gonzalez spent many hours working on social justice and civil rights issues by volunteering and involving herself in political campaigns. She gained valuable experience during the spring of 2010 while performing an externship as a clerk for the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Voting Section.
The requirements of the GFP Fellowship include: participating in weekly leadership sessions, working 32 hours, writing a public policy paper, participating in a group community service project and developing and executing a policy summit.
