Andrea is a Health Services Director and Registered Nurse with 30 years of dedicated experience in patient care and senior living services. Her career began as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where she developed a deep respect for hands-on caregiving and the importance of presence at the bedside. She continued her professional growth by advancing through her LPN and RN licensure, ultimately earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Each step of her journey reflects her unwavering commitment to excellence, lifelong learning, and compassionate, person-centered care through healthcare.
In her leadership role, Andrea is deeply committed to creating meaningful connections between residents, families, and care teams. She believes that exceptional care goes beyond clinical support—it is built on trust, communication, and genuine relationships. Her greatest fulfillment comes from advocating for residents, supporting families through every stage of care, and ensuring each individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
Family and service are at the heart of Andrea’s life. She is a proud mother of two children, and she and her children are actively involved in giving back to the community together as a family, participating in local charitable and volunteer efforts that reflect their shared commitment to helping others. Andrea has also long been involved in broader community initiatives, including the American Red Cross, Angel Tree Program, disaster relief initiatives, and hospital fundraising events. These experiences reflect her belief in showing up for others—both in healthcare and in the wider community.
In her free time, Andrea enjoys music, traveling, reading, fitness, museums, car shows, snorkeling, canoeing, and trivia. She has a deep appreciation for the ocean, often collecting seashells and transforming them into meaningful keepsakes. She also values conservation efforts and recently contributed to the rehabilitation and release of a sea turtle named Stella, after it was attacked by a shark. After the turtle’s shell was rebuilt using fiberglass, it was released back into the ocean
Andrea is also an animal lover with a special fondness for sloths and zebras. Her warmth, curiosity, and sense of wonder extend into every part of her life, enriching the way she connects with others.
Andrea is dedicated to ensuring that every resident and loved one feels supported, informed, and cared for throughout their journey. She strives to live her life by the words, “We’re all just walking each other home,” meeting others with kindness, offering support along the way, and recognizing that each of us has something meaningful to give one another.
