What people are saying…
“As a direct-report to Andrea for over 3 years and community partner for 2 years prior, I witnessed firsthand Andrea's ability to make a positive impact on her organization and community to move the system of care forward. Andrea encompasses the intellect to develop far-reaching policy, the leadership to build partnerships, the thoughtful understanding of policy impact on-the-ground, and the mentoring abilities to inspire you to follow her with high morale. Ten years later, I still find myself seeking her guidance and still trying to emulate her work style.”
Daniel Chae
Program Manager, Strategic Partnerships @ the California Community Foundation
“Andrea is a strategic thinker who is able to offer guidance and vision on a wide variety of topics, from interpersonal one on one work to systems level approaches. She equips you with the tools, support, and encouragement needed to be successful. Andrea is a disruptor, unwilling to settle for the status quo where it isn’t working. She embraces complexity, resists the binary, and embodies discernment. She is uniquely direct, honest, and caring. Andrea is able to thoughtfully challenge you, while cheering you on. Her experience is derived from different workplace settings and cultures, which is a tremendous asset. Andrea is adept at building meaningful relationships, which positions her well to partner alongside you. Her distinctive skill set will strengthen your work."
Aubrey Patiño
Executive Director, Avalon Housing
“Andrea is an incredible facilitator and coach and is highly skilled at leading, planning, and executing complex processes. A natural synthesizer and translator, Andrea connects disparate data, input, and interests into compelling vision and strategies.”
Mary Jo Callan
Executive Director @ the Swearer Center for Public Service & Associate Dean for Engaged Scholarship, Brown University,
“Andrea has always listened to other people's opinion, ideas, concerns, or worries. I feel comfortable sharing both good and bad news with Andrea and knowing that she'll focus on how best to move forward and grow from the experience.”
Employee Feedback
University of Michigan Youth Policy Lab
“I think it’s rare to work for a supervisor who encourages their team to try new things without the fear of failing, one who consistently makes themselves available as a mentor, and creates a culture that people genuinely love to be a part of. I reported to Andrea for 2.5 years, and I more professionally working for her than I did in my undergraduate and working career combined. She has a knack for building great teams, challenging you to produce great work, and most importantly — she brings kindness and compassion as a boss. Oh and as a bonus- she’d often bring in donuts for the team.”
Elizabeth Folger
Co-Director of Community + School Outreach @ CFAAR Northwestern University
“With her analytical and compassionate style, Andrea is proficient in both managing and leading teams to achieve positive impact. She inspires colleagues, policy makers, and positional leaders to center equity in their work, and ensures that the outcomes are inclusive, just and equitable.”
