Andrea received her B.A from Northwestern University and her J.D. from Loyola University of Chicago School of Law. She is a practicing immigration attorney in Asheville. The majority of her clients are Latinos, which means Andrea spends about 70% of her workday speaking Spanish.
Andrea is a Third Order Franciscan (Anglican) and a member of St. Mary's Church, Asheville. She actively serves on the Hispanic Ministries Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina.
She has lived almost seven years in Asheville, North Carolina, is married, and, as she says, "has too many cats."
