After moving to Washington State as a teenager, Andrea earned a degree in Communications from the University of Washington.  While initially pursuing a career in marketing, she quickly realized it lacked the creativity and meaningful connections she craved.  Around the same time, Andrea developed a passion for personal finance, immersing herself in podcasts and resources to improve her own financial well-being. This led her to a career in financial services where she could combine her love for education and connection to make a tangible impact on people’s lives.

Andrea’s passion for financial literacy stems from her unique upbringing. Born in California but raised in Mexico City, she grew up in a bustling metropolis of 22 million people. Her entrepreneurial spirit blossomed early, selling candy with her grandmother and cousins - a formative experience that taught her creativity, perseverance, and the value of hard work.

Guided by her father’s teachings as a pastor, Andrea believes in the importance of thoughtful financial stewardship. Those lessons profoundly shaped her belief in the power of financial planning to transform lives. With her warm personality and bilingual background, Andrea excels at helping clients navigate financial decisions with confidence and empathy, especially those who have grown up fearing debt or financial missteps.

Beyond her professional life, Andrea cherishes her Mexican heritage, enjoys traveling, and finds inspiration in connecting with others. From selling candy in Mexico City to guiding clients in the U.S., Andrea’s journey reflects her determination, adaptability, and commitment to empowering others through financial literacy.
