Andrea is a Colorado native!  With an early background in theatrical performance, stage management, and the arts, Andrea shifted into studying molecular biology and neuroscience at CU Boulder.  There, she cheered on the Buffs (and Ralphie!) at football games and was a chairwoman in her sorority—all while balancing laboratory research with a focus on immune responses to alcohol and cannabis at the cellular level.  She continued lab work and flipped falafel after college until finally leaving for Laramie, Wyoming to study law—Go Pokes!  Outside of class, she participated in moot court and philanthropy projects in the community.  Andrea also was a student attorney in the Civil Legal Services Clinic to assist under-resourced residents across Wyoming.  Her favorite case was working entirely in Spanish to help a refugee mother gain custody of her child.  After a year-long interlude as an associate attorney at Spectrum Legal Group, LP, Andrea left to accept a clerkship with the Honorable Judge John Daniel Dailey at the Colorado Court of Appeals.  During her (nearly) three-year term, Andrea drafted ninety-three opinions.  Outside of the practice of law, Andrea can be found doodling and journaling, exploring new music, practicing yoga, cooking, and mysteriously acquiring more house plants.
