| Andrea's television broadcasting career began one year after Mr. Bo Barredo said six words to her that would forever change the direction of her life. And those words were, “You need to go into broadcasting.” In the late spring of 2003, Andrea hosted her first program for the Charlottesville Public Access Television station. |

| Her ability to carry a show and capture an audience did not go unnoticed by the station manager. He recommended she produce her own show. And she did. December 2004, Speaking with Andrea was born. As time went on, Andrea recognized that her call to this ‘career’ had a greater purpose; a purpose she often shares on and off camera to motivate and encourage others. |
