At the age of three, Andrea began dance training in Hillsboro, Oregon. She studied at Northwest Conservatory of Dance under the directorship of Anita Mitchel. She continued to train at the Joffrey Ballet, San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, and Loyola Marymount University, where she received a BA in dance in 2009. After graduating she joined Northwest Dance Project in Portland, Oregon. For 11 years she performed nationally and internationally, as well as choreographed contemporary dance works for the project company and students.

Over the past three years Andrea has specialized in solo, dance theater work. In the summer of 2019 she attended Dell'arte International School of Physical theater where she studied mask, voice, and ensemble building practices. Since 2014 she has collaborated with various Portland multimedia artists to create original work for film and live theater.
