Outside The Office
Most of Andrea’s time away from the office is spent with her three young daughters – cheering them on at swim meets, dance recitals, and soccer games; curled up with them and a favorite book to read aloud (current favorites: The Wind in the Willows, Little Women, and the Vanderbeekers and Harry Potter series); or encouraging their artistic and culinary interests through shared art projects and baking and cooking adventures.
She devotes as much of her spare time as possible to a few favorite hobbies: learning to play the piano, running in the wooded metro park in her Northeast Columbus neighborhood, crocheting, and catching the occasional Duke, Ohio State, or Dodgers game with her husband.
