Andrea has studied in Europe, Latin America and the US.
She has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Navarre in Advertising, a Masters in Communications Management from the University of Barcelona and in Mediation and Coaching from Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana. She's currently getting certified and a Chief Happiness Officer for Organizational Wellness from the University of Nebrija.
