Throughout my years of professional collaboration with Andrea, she has demonstrated the characteristics of advcoacy and perseverance. She is steadfast in ensuring that every child is welcome, seen, heard, and supported. Andrea not only inspires me, but inspires all educators that she meets, to lead with compassion and charity. Her advocacy and support for all students exemplifies what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ.

Andrea is one of those rare leaders who brings both heart and intellect into everything she does. She has a natural intuition for people — the kind that can’t be taught — and an academic mind that understands how systems and processes can truly support learning. It’s a beautiful balance that makes her stand out as both a thinker and a feeler.
One moment that has always stayed with me was when I saw Andrea kneel down to greet a young student who looked scared and uncertain. She spoke warmly to the child in her own language, and I watched the tiny girl shift from fear to joy in an instant. A simple moment, but it said everything about who Andrea is — compassionate, present, and deeply connected to the people she serves.

In working with Andrea, I saw just how deeply she cares about students, staff, and families. She is a strong, compassionate leader who believes in creating opportunities for all children, regardless of their background or needs. I learned so much from her, she brought out the best in everyone around her. Her passion for education and inclusive leadership make her an incredible asset in a consulting role.
