Karen has extensive experience over the last six years, mainly in qualitative research for educational studies for Chilean government institutions. Her most recent work has been in the area of educational assessment for admission to higher education.
From 2019 to 2022, Karen was involved in the creation of the NGO Minerva, which aimed to promote affective sexual education in Chile.
Since her undergraduate thesis, Karen has been interested in exploring the issue of migration and inclusion in schools in the context of Chile.
