Andrea (she/her/ella), a proud daughter of immigrants and an immigrant herself, was born in Mexico City. Her family made the journey to the United States when she was just 3 years old, returning to Mexico in pursuit of establishing a business there, but faced with numerous challenges, they ultimately chose to return and pursue the American dream.
Andrea became the first in her family to attend college, earning a BS from MSU Denver with a minor in Nonprofit Studies. She has been the Executive Director at Casa de Paz for over 3 years. The majority of Andrea’s work experience comes from working hand in hand with people and their personal experiences, fueling her passion for Casa de Paz’s mission of breaking boundaries and borders. As the Executive Director for the past three years, Andrea continues to embody her commitment to serving others while balancing the joys of motherhood with her daughter, a loving husband, and their two dogs.
