Karla N. Email & Phone Number

I have always been a curious person. Multiple accounts from family members say that when I was growing up in Mexico, it felt like I was training to become a researcher with all the questions I would ask. This curiosity and love for research are the key elements of my storyline. Born and raised on the warm Mexican West Coast, my postgraduate studies brought me to Canada, where I have lived and worked for the past 20 years. I am a multilingual Credentialed Evaluator and an economist with more than 17 years of experience in research, economic impact assessment, program evaluation, public policy, and performance measurement-related projects. My areas of expertise include science, technology, technological and social innovation, higher-education programs, government relations, stakeholder engagement, program design, policy analysis, and accountability and compliance practices.A self-confessed nerd, I love connecting the dots and crafting narratives through reports and other knowledge mobilization tools. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I enjoy working in roles that allow me to put my interests, skills, expertise and experience to good use. In my current position, I ensure the achievement of project goals while delivering high-quality results that help demonstrate the value of supporting innovation. Through my experience in managing projects involving the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data sets, economic impact assessment, research design, and the development of theories of change and performance metrics, I have acquired the knowledge required to provide valuable insight into complex research problems. Considered a kind, funny and polite person, I am a team player who also appreciates the value of independent work. A good-natured and friendly person, I am always open to meeting people and exchanging knowledge on topics related to my expertise. If you want to connect and discuss, feel free to reach out.
