Andrea Reyes was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Living in Arizona her entire life has informed her about the injustices that many immigrants actively face. Being the daughter of immigrant parents from Mexico, involvement with immigration has always been present in her life and extremely important to her. Andrea graduated from Arizona State University with a B.A. in Justice Studies in May 2015. Prior to joining the Florence Project, she worked at the nonprofit A Stepping Stone Foundation, which provides quality preschool education to unrepresented children in the Phoenix and Globe area while their parents earn a GED. While working there, Andrea quickly realized that she has a passion for helping children. This is why she has decided to help immigrants in a community that she has strong ties to by joining the Florence Project in November 2015.
