Ms. Andrea

Assistant Director

Ms. Andrea brings a background in Environmental Engineering and about 10 years of experience working with children in various educational settings, including her most recent role supervising and coordinating youth programs at the YMCA.

Working with children has always been her passion. She loves supporting young learners as they grow into curious, independent, and confident individuals. She’s passionate about STEM education and believes that introducing science, technology, engineering, and math concepts early helps children develop creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. I am especially committed to encouraging young girls to explore STEM fields and helping all children see themselves as capable innovators, creators, and thinkers.
