Hello! My name is Jennica Nichols. I was born and raised in Southern Ontario and am of European descent. I am grateful to have called Vancouver, British Columbia home since 2016. I work to increase research relevance and use in healthcare by shifting how research is done, how findings are used, and who benefits from the process. I focus on implementation science, public health, patient engagement, and theatre to do this. I am also an evaluator. Use, respect, and thoughtfulness are core values that guide my work. I help clients do meaningful measurement, visualize how programs works, apply evaluative thinking to answer questions, and creatively solve problems as they emerge. Outside of work, I spend my time camping, being an aunt, nerding out about evolution, experimenting in the kitchen, scuba driving, and exploring hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
