Her instrumental experience includes three years as bass clarinetist with the St. Olaf Band, serving as principal and section leader for 1994-95. She also has appeared with the St. Olaf Orchestra, the St. Olaf Clarinet Choir, and the Wind Ensemble, Symphony Band, and University Band at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, serving as principal with the Symphony and University Bands. She has sung with the St. Olaf Cantorei and with church choirs at First Lutheran Church (Barron, WI) and Lake Park Lutheran Church (Milwaukee, WI), as well as with the Schola Cantorum of Luther Seminary (St. Paul, MN). She has performed on four nationally released CD's, numerous in-house recordings, one world-wide television broadcast, and a pair of world-wide radio broadcasts. She has studied orchestral conducting with Steven Amundson, instrumental conducting with Timothy Mahr and Miles Johnson, and choral conducting with Robert Scholz and Craig Johnson. Andrea has studied composition with Peter Hamlin, Timothy Mahr, and John Carter. Her compositions have been read and/or premiered in Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Community ensembles in northern Wisconsin have seen Andrea join them on percussion, horn, and tenor saxophone. She also holds an Advanced Technical Certificate (high honors) in LAN management (Novell) from Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College.

After studying for one year at Trinity Seminary, Andrea transferred to Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, studying theology, church history, and church music. During the summer of 2000, Andrea served as camp chaplain at Luther Park Bible Camp in Chetek, Wisconsin. She served as intern/interim associate pastor at St John's Lutheran Church in Richland Center, Wisconsin in 2001-02. She spent January Term of her senior year on independent study in Wales, where she spent four weeks at St. Deiniol's Library in Hawarden, Flintshire, as a Canon Symonds Scholar, researching the development of Anglo-Saxon monasticism. Some day, she hopes to read for the MA and PhD in Medieval Studies at the University of York, researching the intersection of Celtic and Benedictine monasticism in Anglo-Saxon England. She is currently enjoying underemployment after moving to Michigan with her husband in October 2005.

In her spare time, Andrea's interests are devoted to soccer and gadgets. She is a passionate supporter of Sunderland AFC, a club headed down to the Coca-Cola Championship, and has endured the trials and tribulations of following a "yo-yo" club. She also follows Durham County Cricket Club, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota Wild, and St. Paul Saints, and somehow became a diehard Minnesota Vikings fan while growing up in the middle of Packer country. Andrea enjoys designing web sites, is currently pressing on toward conquering FrontPage 2002 and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 , and looks forward to learning the ins and outs of Flash MX 2004. She is turning the family Mac Mini into a media PC, watches soccer matches on her PSP, and is working on the cable-box-to-Mini coordination.
