For nearly three decades, her life’s work in Education, Advocacy, Consulting, and Communications have reflected the belief that “it takes a village” to develop both children and adults into the best version of themselves.
Her tenacious efforts have refined the lives and work of countless individuals, organizations and corporations, and she continues to gain momentum in this mission.

As the mother of two successful young men, wife of one nerd, and a woman who lives life fearlessly no matter what is thrown her way with unending rewards to show for her bravery, Andrea is here to pass on all the wisdom from her roots, while balancing the scales of past lessons and future happiness.
