Andrea has been on a long and winding journey to her current position. She joined as a member of the Bolling Lab team in the summer of 2020, shortly after graduating with a Master of Science degree in Bacteriology from the UW. Andrea arrived with years of research experience in several disciplines, including Microbiology, Genetics, and Immunology. During these experiences, she focused on projects that promoted human health in various ways. Therefore, Andrea initially joined the team as a bench scientist to conduct multiple projects investigating the connection between food compounds and health.

From 2021-2024, Andrea also worked on and graduated with a Master of Public Health degree in the Social and Behavioral Sciences concentration through the UF. These values and experiences prompted Andrea’s role to evolve in the group as she shifted toward community-engaged research. Furthermore, Andrea brings a unique perspective to the group by bridging the gap between the natural and social sciences. She is passionate about working with many communities around the state on sustainable food systems and health topics.

Andrea values a work-life balance and enjoys spending time with family and friends. With an adventurous spirit, she stays active, loves to travel and experience other cultures, and is an outdoor enthusiast. You may even spot her climbing up a rock face if you look carefully.
