Andrea is currently a second-year student in the Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration master's program at Virginia Tech. She serves as the Graduate Assistant for New Student and Family Programs, where she primarily supports new student orientation, welcome experiences, and family engagement initiatives.

During her time in her master's program, she's had the opportunity to complete a practicum with Student Conduct in Spring 2026 and serve as a Preview Intern at the University of Florida during Summer 2026. As Andrea enters my final year of graduate school, she is excited to continue growing as a student affairs professional, broaden my experiences, and prepare for the transition into a full-time professional role.
