Andrea plans gatherings. She thrives on creating the spaces for activists, advocates, and changemakers to connect.

She started her career as an organizer on political campaigns, did her obligatory time as a San Francisco citizen during the first dot-com boom, then went to the corporate world where she handed out the big checks in charitable giving, sponsorships, and community relations. One of those sponsorships launched her into the world of conference planning, where she spent 6 years as the program director for the Conferences for Women in Pennsylvania and Texas.

When she roots, she roots for the Portland Timbers and the San Francisco Giants.
