Andrea Carrera
School Counsellor
British School JakartaI am a proud Ecuadorian and passionate individual who has found the best experiences of my life in education and Psychology. I learn what courage looks like, what strength over hopelessness looks like, what relief over desperation looks like, and what hope over endless emotional roads looks like. All this and more, from the people who visit my office every day. I love music, football, podcasts, and starting new projects. I am a feminist and a mental health advocate. I am a believer in challenges as my way of growth. I am just another human being that wants to do my best to keep changing worlds for the better.
