From University Place, WA, Andrea attended Curtis High School prior to the University of Kansas, where she earned a degree in Education & Community Health. While competing for the Jayhawks, Andrea would go on to be a three-time NCAA Champion, winning the 2012 indoor triple jump title and a long jump/triple jump double at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championship. 2013 would prove to be a big year for Andrea, as she would also add the title of USA Champion to her mantle, by besting the field at the USA Outdoor Championships. In 2016, Andrea took home third at the Olympic Trials, earning her a bronze for the USA Championships and a trip to the Rio Olympic Games with Team USA.

Not only is she putting in the work toward her on the track goals, but she also works full-time for the Tacoma School District. The two can often overlap, Andrea says, "I love the mental and scientific aspects of life. Especially on the track I really try to tap into how to mentally overcome barriers and help those around me do the same in everyday life. Sometimes I find myself giving motivational speeches to my classes instead of teaching lessons." Andrea loves children, and never passes up the opportunity to work with or interact with the youth. She lets this passion, and her zeal for all sports guide her to the sidelines as well, where she can be found coaching soccer, volleyball and track, saying, "Any chance I get to motivate a child or adult to do physical activity I jump on it. The joy it has brought to me I want every one to feel! The scientific side of track and field is so intriguing, I really want to learn the sport and not just be taught how to. I want to be able to change generations to come."
