Hey, I’m Andrea

I have been married for 20 years and have two daughters. I served on the leadership team of a multi-site Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) church for seven years, where I also provided counseling. Throughout our marriage, I have been a pastor's wife.

I am passionate about serving others by teaching God’s word and helping individuals overcome barriers in their spiritual, relational, and professional lives. Additionally, I enjoy assisting organizations and teams in finding systematic and digital solutions to their challenges using a collaborative and relational approach.

My Approach

Leadership

I love helping organizations achieve their goals. I believe in brainstorming, dreaming, and exploring possibilities to discover effective solutions while enjoying the time I spend with the wonderful people I have the privilege to work with each day.

Collaborative

I love working with others through counseling individuals and helping teams succeed. I thrive when I can assist others by helping them break through their relational, spiritual, or emotional barriers.

In teams, I enjoy helping others utilize their gifts, talents, and passions while striving toward a shared goal that showcases the strengths of those around me.

Systematic

I develop a systematic approach to ensure the final result aligns with the vision, brand, and goals. I collaborate with teams to refine and optimize the process for efficiency.
