Andrea always had an artistic inclination since she was young and had an interest in theatre since she was in elementary school. They were able explore theatre through the Hartnell College theatre arts program and participate in the work from the community with companies like The Western Stage, California State University, Monterey Bay: The World Theatre, El Teatro Campesino, and Artists Ink. Andrea initially intended to pursue robotics, but then decided to focus on a professional theatre arts career as a stage manager with the support of her mother.
