Andrea has been part of the ALPFAmilia since before she stepped foot on The University of Texas at Dallas campus as an undergraduate student. Why does she stick around? She finds value and energy in sharing stories within a community that supports and champions each other's success!
She is also the Co-Lead of EY's Dallas LatinX Professional Network and continues to find (or create) ways to integrate her purpose into everything she invests her time to. Her purpose is to connect humans to knowledge, opportunities, and resources so that we may empower more diverse leaders!
In this episode, she shares these parts of one human story:
Being a wife, mom, and R&D tax accountant (women do it all)

Successfully passing the CPA exams (while pregnant)

Winning over an ED with a support system *trigger warning for minutes 16:20 to 26:08*

Gaining energy & clarity from eating healthy and working out (it's work, but it works)

& The importance of sharing your story (even if it reaches just one other person)!
