I'm Andrea, Psychologist, from Colombia. Throughout my life I have volunteered with different populations. Having shared part of my life in Colombia with older adults was fantastic for me, I was able to learn from them and to carry them. Another of my hobbies is making lives or postings about mental health on my psychology instagram account, I like to walk, read, go to the gym, spend time with my husband, watch true story movies.
