Her role involves ensuring newcomer professionals receive the necessary support and guidance to achieve their career aspirations by connecting them with mentors in the same field.
She has made several notable achievements during her tenure at CCIS, such as successfully forging key partnerships with various community organizations and employers on behalf of CCIS and creating innovative training sessions. Her commitment to teamwork and her willingness to lend a helping hand on key projects have been a vital asset to the organization.
Andrea's positive attitude and strong work ethic have earned her the respect and admiration of her peers and colleagues.

On her free time, Andrea enjoys swimming, biking, playing tennis and pursuing new learning opportunities, all the while spending quality time with her family. These hobbies help her unwind and maintain her well-being, allowing her to return to her work with renewed energy and focus.
To other women, Andrea says, “You can achieve great things if you never give up on your dreams. Your dreams are valid! Pursue them with dedication and perseverance and support other women along the way.”
