Andrea was born and raised in Colorado. She attended the University of Denver for her undergraduate degree, majoring in International Business. While at DU, Andrea spent a summer abroad working as a Sous Chef in a small town called Villard de Lans located outside of Grenoble, France.

After graduating from DU, Andrea attended law school in Albany, New York, where she clerked for the New York State Assembly Minority Counsel during both the 2010 and 2011 legislative sessions. She also participated in a study abroad program traveling to Geneva, Paris, London and Brussels, focusing on International Human Rights and International Economic Law. Realizing how much she missed Colorado, Andrea returned after passing the Bar Exam in New York. Upon passing the Colorado Bar, she joined MPS in November 2012. In her spare time, Andrea enjoys reading a good book, cooking, and traveling. She also loves to play outside with her two dogs, Louie and Brody.
