Andrea has a professional background in environmental and human rights law, with experience in public service, public policy, and legal advocacy. Originally from Chile, she spent her career working at the intersection of law, policy, and public service before making Missoula her home. She is proud to continue serving her community through her work at the Jeannette Rankin Peace Center.

Guided by a deep commitment to justice, equality, and human dignity, she believes that stronger communities are built when everyone has the opportunity to participate, be heard, and belong. She values collaboration, respectful dialogue, and creating spaces where people from different backgrounds can work together toward shared goals.

As Program Coordinator, Andrea supports all the JRPC programs, coordinates community events, and works with local partners to connect people with opportunities to learn, engage, and take action.
