Personal & Professional Background: Tell Us About Andrea Garcia
This is Andrea, born and raised in Nicaragua, but I have been living in Madrid, Spain for the past six years. I am someone who loves practicing yoga, being close to my family and friends, and spending time with my dog, Mila. I came to Madrid to study business administration at Carlos III de Madrid, completed my degree in 2021, and started working as a marketing and communications intern at a software company. After a year as an intern, I decided that I wanted to be part of something bigger than just being a number in a company. I come from an entrepreneurial family. I started an online business in Nicaragua and co-founded an organization to help the most vulnerable families in the country during the COVID-19 years. The feeling of creating something from scratch has always driven me. This is when I decided I wanted to work for a company that aspires to achieve something greater, with the trust and dedication of all its employees.
