Karla Lamberti

I've led health and nutrition operations at Gulf Coast Community Services Association across 16 sites, managing a team of seven and building five external partnerships that supported the organization’s mission.

I use quantitative data, weekly output reporting, and tactical planning to exceed mandated screening goals, reaching 80–90% completion. I also reduced monthly department expenses by 10% while guiding teams through internal and external government compliance audits.

Previously, I supported the City of Houston Health Department’s COVID-19 response by creating a data monitoring system, developing bilingual education classes, and co-leading the Better Together Campaign. Our efforts increased COVID-19 testing engagement by 12% and virtual class participation by 15%.

My background combines public health education, nutrition program coordination, compliance monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and fluent Spanish communication with underserved communities.
