Hi, I'm Andrea!
I believe in the power of community organising and
narratives to drive positive social change.
I am a community organiser and project leader with over 10 years of experience delivering values-driven initiatives across Latin America, Europe, and the UK. My work focuses on building inclusive networks, amplifying migrant voices, and supporting communities to lead change.
As a Venezuelan migrant, I bring both lived experience and a commitment to reshaping the narrative of migration. I support migrants and refugees to reclaim their stories, build confidence, and take action, creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.
The values that guide my work
Collaboration
Building spaces where diverse voices can share knowledge and co-create solutions that lead to real change.
Kindness
Human connection is at the heart of my work. I lead with empathy, always choosing to listen, support, and uplift.
Authenticity
I value openness in communication and realness over perfection, where people feel safe to do the same.
Practical action
I provide tools and support to take clear, intentional steps forward, always grounded in purpose.
Who I work with
- Values-driven organisations and networks
- Community-led organisations and brands.
- Funders, institutions, and ecosystems.
Some examples of my work

Created and led Beyond Bath Talks, a series of events with Bath Welcomes Refugees, designed to shift perspectives on migration by amplifying the voices of refugees, migrants and activists.

Nextdoor Nature Programme - The Wildlife Trusts
Coordinated £5M Nextdoor Nature programme, supporting 46 organisations and reaching 1,600 communities in taking environmental and climate action. I supported the transformation from traditional engagement into taking a community organising way of working, enabling people to feel a sense of belonging as part of the movement. I also led the training of hundreds of people, including staff and local community groups.
Powercoders Programme - Impact Hub Madrid
A capacity development programme on digital skills aimed at people in vulnerable socio-labour situations with refugee status. I developed and managed relationships with over 100 organisations for employability opportunities and provided guidance and mentoring to 21 participants to enhance their professional skills and navigate the local context.
The Future of Mobility - Connected Mobility Hub
Led a network of 130 startups focused on advancing sustainable mobility and connecting them with investors, corporates, and local governments. I also participated in the design and implementation of The Future of Mobility Alliance, bringing together citizens, startups, corporates, and local authorities to influence mobility policies in Spain. As a result, we developed a manifesto, outlining shared visions and priorities.

Words from the people I’ve worked with!
Andrea has a complete profile that brings value to any organisation. She is deeply passionate about her work and ensures high quality and excellence.

I want to personally thank you for everything you’ve contributed to Conecta. And congratulations on the session. Thank you for letting us listen to you and for facilitating the space. I’m sure your message and words reached exactly who they needed to.
The workshop felt essential in highlighting the emotional aspect and the importance of talking about the grief that comes with migration.
The community training was concise, well-organised, and had clear objectives that provided great value to the participants. Highly recommended.
