Andrea's life changed dramatically at the age of sixteen when she discovered she was pregnant. The challenges she faced as a teen mother, the "adult" decisions she was forced to make, and the strength she discovered within herself during these times changed her life outlook forever. Andrea began speaking to students, businesses and community organizations over 18 years ago about her life experiences and how they related to her personal development and success. With the right approach, Andrea believes that challenges become opportunities to build character.
Since those days Andrea has gone on to receive her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Denver. She also has a Master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Colorado. Andrea currently lives in Denver and works as a consultant and speaker. In her spare time, Andrea enjoys jogging, reading, and spending quality time with her family & friends. She believes all people should laugh as often as possible, share a smile with someone they don't know, and live each day forgiving their past, looking forward to their future and enjoying the moment. |
