Andrea Gonzalez grew up in Hesperia, California, though just recently moved to Orange County. She currently attends California State University San Marcos and will graduate with her BA in Child and Adolescent Development with a minor in Educational Studies this upcoming year. She has been working in a classroom and with youth in additional programs for three years. Andrea finds it most important that youth have a voice and feel heard and safe. When not at work or school, Andrea is typically at the gym, going on a hike, spending time with her family, or at a coffee or smoothie shop!
