She worked for the United States Department of Agriculture and was a health educator for Los Angeles County General Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, and the World Health Organization. López y Galarza was forced to legally change her first name to Marguerite when she became a United States citizen in 1940, because her American elementary school teachers had insisted on using the name Marguerite on her school records.
