Alina Andraca nació en San Diego, California y se mudó a Jackson, Wyoming, a la edad de cinco años. Su familia, incluidos sus padres y sus cuatro hermanas, se mudaron a Jackson desde Guerrero, México, a principios de los años 90. Al crecer en Jackson como mexicano-estadounidense, Alina ha visto y experimentado los cambios culturales dentro de esta pequeña comunidad de primera mano. Al unirse al equipo de WIAP, Alina estaba entusiasmada de formar parte de una organización que brinda servicios que se han necesitado durante tanto tiempo en Wyoming.

After graduating from Jackson Hole High School, Alina relocated to Santa Cruz, California, on a soccer scholarship. She now has a business management degree and operates her own business, MOTIVO, offering bilingual consultant services to small business owners in Jackson. Prior to joining WIAP, Alina spent nine years working for One22 Resource Center. She began as a certified medical interpreter and later became a medical financial navigator, helping to connect community members with resources to alleviate medical debt and file insurance claims. She also served as a financial empowerment manager, co-facilitating One22’s Spanish-language financial literacy program to educate participants about money management within the United States, and most recently as an office manager.

Throughout her career, Alina has built relationships with community members of all different backgrounds, and she brings with her a passion for supporting the immigrant workforce that makes Jackson thrive. In her free time, Alina enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and toy poodle. She also loves traveling and exploring new places and cultures.
