    Bio
     
    Andrea brings her background in both education and law to her work at Westminster. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Colgate University and began her career in the Hamilton College Office of Admission. Thereafter, she earned her J.D. from Emory University, and practiced law at Pepper Hamilton LLP in Philadelphia and Day Pitney LLP in Hartford. Following a short stint living in Japan, Andrea returned to her roots in education, working for the Founders League and an early childhood collaborative in West Hartford, before joining Westminster’s admissions team. As a member of the admissions team, Andrea enjoys connecting with prospective students and parents and introducing them to the Westminster community. Her work as an advisor, with the student activities program and on behalf of the Westminster community more generally, both informs her work in admissions and allows her to maintain connections after students enroll. 

    Andrea lives in West Hartford with her husband, Mark, and son, Dillon. She enjoys spending time with her family, catching up with friends near and far, learning new things, adventures small and large, returning to her hometown of Lancaster, Pa., running, skating, baking and just about anything chocolate.
