She is also a partner with the Dorchester Collection Academy in London, England.

Dr. Andrea has an astute ability to get clients to think from different perspectives to come to breakthrough moments and develop their own solutions—unique to what has been done before. This is not about her solving their problems, but rather guiding clients to realize their own attainable solutions. She instills individuals with neuroscience-based techniques to alter their interactions with others for improved relationships, meaningful impact, productivity, efficiency, and increased bottom line, and rather than focusing solely on one area, she brings together multiple areas and helps others find the language to embrace and incorporate the concepts in easy to understand ways.

Looking back, Dr. Andrea attributes her success to her perseverance and resilience, mentors she has had along the way, cultural and international experience, and staying passionate in all her business endeavors.  When not working, she enjoys traveling, downhill skiing, hiking in the mountains and being in nature, engaging in meaningful conversation and laughing.
