About

She / Her / Hers

Andrea is a Junior at UIC who was born and raised in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. Andrea is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences where she is pursuing a degree in Latin American and Latinos Studies with a minor in Communication. As a first-generation student her goals in life includes helping other people like her to make an advancement in representation in all types of media whether it be art media or social media. Many times, Andrea feels that Latinx students are not encouraged enough to pursue literature and writing which can be an amazing experience. Andrea also enjoys working out going on long walks and binging new tv shows. She joined as an intern to the LCC because she wanted to get more involved with Latinx communities and people like her. Andrea hopes to learn a lot more about herself and the way we can advocate better for ourselves.
