Parent Programming Opportunities and Community Resources 

Andrea's primary responsibility is to design, implement and evaluate family programming and advocacy, through building community with families and leveraging community partnerships. Andrea hopes to create programs that will support the needs of families and create space for Student U families to come together.

Andrea's Why:
I value a society where everyone has the opportunity to explore their strengths and passions, and the opportunity to fulfill their goals. Student U recognizes that not all students have access to the same resources and opportunities. I invest in Student U because they are committed to helping students successfully navigate through their education, including college and beyond.

Andrea outside of Student U:
Outside of Student U, I enjoy taking boxing classes, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and listening to podcasts about unsolved mysteries & space.

Advice Andrea finds valuable:
I am still very new to this type of work but some advice I have found valuable is to always do things with intention and urgency and to always give importance to the work that you are doing.
