Along with her role as a media entrepreneur, Andrea is an award winning News
Anchor/Reporter, Writer and Producer. As a champion of women's issues, in the
aftermath of our War on Terror, Andrea spent time with military wives, exploring,
in depth, the personal battles of those left behind. Andrea has also taken on 'The
Beauty Battle' and the pressure to 'measure up' (physically) in today's society.
This series touched on sensitive subjects such as eating disorders, teen body
images, and plastic surgery. In addition, Andrea produced a five part series on
school safety, talking intimately with students about their concerns. In a follow up
report, she looked at violent media influences and how they affect children.
During her many years in television, Andrea has interviewed countless
newsmakers and celebrities. Some of her most memorable include a sit down
interview with Denise Brown, discussing issues of domestic violence and the
murder of sister, Nicole Brown Simpson. Andrea also garnered a market
exclusive interview with Naomi Judd on Judd's battle with Hepatitis C and the
healing power of prayer. She counts the thrill of talking one-on-one with Astronaut
Ken Mattingly about his role in Apollo 13 as one of her favorites. Nick Clooney also
ranks amongst her favorites because...well...he's George's dad and they look so
much alike!
Before breaking into television, Andrea worked as a News Anchor and host for
radio stations in several markets. She's also freelanced through a FOX affiliate as
a sideline reporter for Class A baseball team, the Kinston Indians.
Along with her extensive television, radio and online work, Andrea uses her
knowledge as a broadcaster and entrepreneur to consult individuals who aim to
create their own TV and web programming.
From April 2008 to January 2009, Andrea headed a team that was focused on a
groundbreaking idea related to Cerebral Palsy. CP Discovery is an ambitious
project designed by an Occupational Therapist and involves the transfer of
information from medical professionals to the parents of children with brain
injuries. Following a collaboration on mission and message, Andrea took the
reins, and began producing original, written and video content. This project
combined broadcasting, production, print, and online journalism skills in the
launch of a site highlighting various Cerebral Palsy related therapies.
In addition, CP Discovery uses the power of Social Media to relay it’s message
and create 'community'. Blogging, social networking, web design, and content
aggregation proved to be a central focus of this marketing plan.
Andrea is a 1995 graduate of Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville,
GA. She is an alumni of Phi Mu Fraternity where she served as Philanthropic
Chairperson.
