Andrea Pulido

Andrea Pulido is a Refugee Case Manager on the Refugee Resettlement/Reception & Placement (R&P) team, and will be assisting and supporting refugees during their first three months in the US.

Andrea is originally from Massachusetts, where she received her bachelor’s degree in Women/Gender/Sexualities Studies, with a main concentration in Reproductive Justice, and a minor in Political Science. She initially became interested in refugee issues while living in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a Rotary Youth Exchange Scholar. However, as a child of Filipino immigrants, Andrea has always been closely tied to the immigrant experience.

Prior to HIAS PA, Andrea conducted research on youths’ experience with sexual and reproductive rights in Manila on a Fulbright Research Grant, taught English in southern Spain, and worked in support services for incoming international students and truant students.

Outside of work, you can find Andrea biking, cooking, crafting, bouldering, or spending time with her family.
