She also gained international experience as an international lawyer in the Latin American Practice at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP in New York City, and subsequently served at the United Nations International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in Arusha, Tanzania. Prior to founding her firm, she served as General Counsel to AgileThought, Inc.

Andrea holds a Law degree from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), graduating with honors (2008); a Postgraduate Specialization in Business Law from Universidad Panamericana (2012); and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Harvard Law School (2014), where she focused on mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, and corporate law.
