Gomez's research explores how geographic factors influence immigration law implementation, trauma-informed legal representation, and gender-specific asylum claims. Her clinical background informs her scholarship on procedural justice and policy disparities.
Her recent publications examine reproductive justice in immigration detention, spatial inequalities in court proceedings, and gendered dimensions of asylum law. Earlier works compare refugee reception systems across countries and analyze testimony preparation practices.
Gomez is actively involved in immigration advocacy as a Tennessee and Maryland bar-admitted attorney, with leadership roles in the American Immigration Lawyers Association, American Bar Association Commission on Immigration, and Clinical Legal Education Association. She co-founded Volunteer Immigrant Defense Advocates (VIDA) and maintains fluency in Spanish.
