Andrea has been an animal lover since the day she was born. In 2001, her passion for the four-legged led her to pursue employment at an animal hospital, and she has been working in the field ever since. Andrea was born in Chicago and spent most of her childhood years in the surrounding suburbs before moving to The Woodlands in 1996. She attended The Woodlands High School and was very active in the theater department, where she met her future husband. Both graduates of Baylor University, they married in 2007 and recently purchased their first home in Spring. They live there with their furry "kids"--four cats named Zeke, Eli, Daphne and Vespa. During her free time, you are likely to find her at the YMCA, the yoga studio, or in her favorite chair at the bookstore enjoying a good book and a delicious cup of Starbuck's coffee. As a longtime fan of movies, musical theater, and anything Disney, it is common to hear Andrea quoting movie lines, belting out show tunes, or planning her next trip to Disneyland. She still not so secretly holds onto her childhood dreams of being a Broadway performer or a Disney princess!
