About Andrea Dillon

I am a project manager, researcher, and aid practitioner who seeks to facilitate cross-cultural communication in an effort to broaden minds and undermine assumptions about “the other.” I have been building, running, and evaluating refugee aid programs for international organizations for over 16 years, with regional focuses on the Middle East and Latin America. Proficient in Arabic and Spanish, I have worked with Iraqi refugees in Syria; Palestinian refugees in Chile; and Syrian refugees in the Greek isles, where I ran an emergency field office during the height of Europe's refugee crisis.I am also a professional aerial acrobat who has worked for Cirque du Soleil, America's Got Talent, and Dragone.
