Biography

About
Andrea is passionate about the power of Catholic education to form young people who are academically prepared, morally grounded, and ready to lead with faith, courage, and compassion. Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi’s words, “Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words,” she believes Catholic education is lived through how we teach, lead, serve, and care for one another. At Mater Dei, she is honored to help prepare students for their next journey and to make the school a place where educational excellence and a warm, welcoming community go hand in hand.
