Bio
Nicole Quinones, MPH (she/her/ella) is a health services researcher specializing in topics of abortion (particularly in independent clinic settings), sexual and reproductive health, and health policy. Nicole's work is informed by her experience as the Research Consultant for CHOICES: Center for Reproductive Health, a nonprofit comprehensive reproductive health clinic that provides everything from abortion, midwifery-led prenatal and birth care, and gender affirming care. Before her current role, she was a Patient Services Advocate who helped patients navigate the abortion landscape. She firmly believes in advancing equitable community-based research practices, intentional research partnerships, and data equity. Her hope is to leverage her research skills to help organizations produce research in-house to answer their own research questions.
