Andrea spent the earlier part of her career cultivating strategic business relationships for nationwide companies. Over the past 12 years she has led philanthropic efforts for various non-profit organizations in the greater Phoenix community and is extremely passionate about The J, where she has been involved since childhood. 

Andrea has created diversified programs for all ages and abilities, established corporate partnerships to drive annual revenue, planned, and managed large-scale community events. She has successfully cultivated and raised significant support from sponsors and individuals through ongoing stewardship efforts. In her newly created role as Chief Experience Officer, Andrea looks forward to leveraging her previous experience to bring a greater sense of value and connection to members, donors, sponsors, and all those who engage with The J.

In her spare time, Andrea enjoys spending time with her husband and adult children, baking, hiking on the many Valley trails that she has called home since moving to Arizona when she was five years old, and volunteering for other nonprofit organizations that are near and dear to her heart.

Andrea graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.A. in Media Arts and Public Relations.
