Karina is the Strategic Initiatives Manager at ETRO Construction in Vancouver, BC Canada, where she oversees the implementation of digital solutions for both the office and field in order to provide ETRO with the best ways to deliver construction projects for our clients.
With a scholarly foundation in Architecture, and roles in Urban Planning, Architecture and Interior Design, Karina discovered her passion lay in the “how” of building projects and measuring the outcomes over the form and function, and challenged this curiosity for improving systems and processes throughout her career.
