Andrea joined the VCA MECA team in 2020 as hospital manager. Prior to joining the veterinary medicine field, Andrea worked for 15 years in the health care and hospitality industries in a variety of management and service roles. She completed her bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, and master's degree in business administration. Andrea's personal passion has always been animals - all shapes, sizes and species- so she is thrilled to be combining that love for animals with a profession leading her team and serving the people and pets of her community.  

Andrea is originally from the Madison area, but has called the Milwaukee community home for over 10 years now.  She shares her home with her husband Nate, two cats, Dexter and Smudge, and an American Bulldog, Capone. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with family, is an avid movie goer, a college football fan, and recently learned how to crochet.
