While in corporate America, she always had the desire to make a difference in the lives of her colleagues who were affected by the stress of their jobs. While working, she pursued studies in Complementary Wellness Care which included Biofeedback, Reflexology, Stress Management and Pain Management. This is a holistic approach to wellness.

Andrea is a member of the Board of Directors of Texas Business Alliance as well as the Houston Ebony Opera Guild. She also supports organizations such as Houston Wellness Association.
