Andrea was born in Bend, OR, then moved to North Carolina for her dad's job in 3rd grade, and then moved to Albany, OR a few years later and grew up there. She met her husband through mutual friends! He was attending Real Life at the time and invited her. Since attending that Tuesday, she kept going to Real Life and Calvary. They got married by Pastor Chad down in the amphitheater in 2017. Andrea love crafts and art, and has loved having the privilege of helping Freya starting in summer 2022 as her assistant. Andrea helps during the week with creating crafts for Sunday, graphic designs, children's events, scheduling volunteers, and being one of the overseers in Children's Ministry on Sunday mornings.

She loves being with her kids and husband, trying new art things, going on hikes, being outside, cooking, and trying out new recipes.  Andrea's favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11, because it reminds her that God is her hope and that she can trust Him: " For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
