Gina Jiménez

Hi there! I am a bilingual journalist focused on health and environmental policy and how they affect disadvantaged communities.  

My work has been published in the Financial Times, National Geographic, Scientific American, Mother Jones, The Guardian, The Texas Observer, El Paso Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Inside Climate News, Slate, Kaiser Health News, Scienceline, Animal Político, Revista Gatopardo, The Washington Post, and Vice News.

About me

I majored in Politics at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City and I write about public health, climate, and gender, sometimes using data.

I recently graduated from the Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP) at NYU. 

For over three years, I coordinated the data journalism done by the Mexican non-profit Data Cívica.

My work has been recognized with the Walter Reuter German Journalism prize, the Award for Excellence in Health Care Journalism and has been nominated for the Gabriel García Marquez Award. 

In 2022, my writing was used as evidence in an Amicus Curiae regarding the Mexican State lawsuit against US gun manufacturers. In 2024, the International Refugee Assistance Project used my reporting to argue against an interim rule to secure the border.
