Andrea was born and raised in Mexico until she immigrated to Michigan when she was 6 years old. She attended Michigan State University and graduated with a degree in Arts and Humanities. Her exposure to social justice issues during her undergraduate career inspired her to pursue a career in the non profit sector.
Because of her research work with Latinx high schoolers and minor in Chicano/Latino studies, Andrea’s dream has been to advocate and fight for the rights of Latinx communities.Prior to joining CIRC, she worked with a basic needs organization as a Development Associate. She is incredibly excited to join the CIRC team, and looks forward to connecting with donors. In her free time, you can find her hiking the beautiful state of Colorado, practicing yoga or reading.
