Before college, Andi was briefly the youngest person in the United States running a marketing consulting business, creating campaigns and promotional pieces for small businesses from coast to coast.
She has been quoted in over 30 international media outlets - including Yahoo! HotJobs, Sydney Morning Herald, Los Angeles Times, and many others - speaking on topics as diverse as: marketing, Generation Y, theater, environmental issues, and international travel.
Currently, Andi is an honors program student at Park University, double-majoring in Public Relations and Broadcast Journalism, with a minor in Leadership Studies. She is the editor of The Stylus, an award-winning student newspaper.
In summer 2010, Andi went to the eastern African country Uganda on a Peace Journalism scholarship. She stayed for a month and taught lessons on ethical reporting to local broadcasters. She also produced her own broadcast stories while she was there, and one of them - a radio piece on the Gulu-area water crisis - has led to independent fundraisers in the United States to build a well in the village she profiled.
In winter 2011-12, Andi traveled to the Middle Eastern country Jordan to work with Friends of the Global Fund to eliminate malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS in the region. She stayed for three weeks and did research, wrote grants, and conducted interviews on health issues.
In high school, Andi was a member of the invitation-only Young Playwrights Roundtable at the Coterie Theatre, recently named one of the top 5 theatres for young people in the nation by Time Magazine. Several of her pieces were added to the standard acting seminar curriculum at the Coterie Theatre and local high schools. Additionally, her works were professionally produced at several local venues.
Andi won the Writer Digest Magazine's Young Writer Award as a teenager, and never stopped writing since. She has won many awards for her work in journalism, as well as her leadership skills.
In a recent anonymous peer review, her classmates used these words to describe Andi: Determined. Intelligent. Strong. Entertaining.
She loves community service, nonprofit organizations, strong espresso, post-conflict development journalism, world travel, academia, and stories. Andi hopes someday someone will pay her to travel the world.
