Our Participants

Andrea Roca is a first-generation, LatinX graduate from CSUN with a passion for connecting people to career pathways in entertainment and fostering inclusive environments for others to thrive. Her past internship at Group Effort Initiative left her feeling eager to empower talent to jumpstart their profession in the early-career space. After months of searching for her first full-time role, she accepted a staff position in Talent Acquisition at NBCUniversal. Every “no” she received motivated her to work harder towards her goal of beginning her career at a company she’s admired since childhood. As someone who comes from a background with little resources and connections, Andrea is dedicated to paying it forward to the next generation of leaders in entertainment by keeping the door open.
