Nadia began her internship at AHI in January 2025. Her work focuses on researching and analyzing housing value chains and housing policies, particularly in Latin America.
Her interest in housing consolidated during her participation in the Public Policy Incubator in Sciences Po, where she collaborated with COFOR ALEC 83 (Agence des politiques énergétiques du Var) on a project aimed at mobilizing private resources to protect housing units against forest fires in the Var region of southern France. This experience highlighted how a secure shelter is essential for recovery and resilience in affected communities. Additionally, it provided her with valuable experience in research on public policies. Nadia is interested in the role access to housing plays in the well-being of vulnerable population groups, including low-income households, children, women, and migrants.
Previously, she worked on the OECD-UNDP joint initiative Tax Inspectors Without Borders, which helps developing countries strengthen their tax audit capacity. In this role, she liaised with stakeholders and tax administrations worldwide—particularly from Ecuador, El Salvador, Paraguay, Mexico, and the United Kingdom—conducted research, and drafted communication materials. She also spent a year as a Communications Consultant in the OECD’s Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS), which leads the organization’s work on employment, social policies, international migration, and health.
Nadia is completing a master’s degree in public policy with a specialization in Social Policy and Social Innovation at SciencesPo’s School of Social Affairs in Paris. In 2022, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Translation and Social Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
In her free time, she enjoys traveling and dancing. She speaks English, French and Spanish.
