Andrea joined the Holbrook Travel team in 1993 and has been the president and CEO since 1998. In addition to her role at Holbrook, she also continues her mother’s work at Selva Verde Lodge and Rainforest Reserve, a place that was her introduction to the hospitality and travel industry as well as a reawakening to her Latina heritage. Andrea is a board member of the Sarapiquí Conservation Learning Center, a non-profit organization closely linked with Selva Verde that connects communities with conservation through education and ecotourism.

Andrea holds a bachelor’s degree in English literature with a minor in Russian studies from Columbia University.
