Andrea has been a board certified PA from Wayne State University, licensed to practice medicine in Michigan since 2004.

In 2022, she became President, leading the organization.
Andrea's dual background in medicine and dermatology, hospital and clinic-based practices, has allowed her to interact with vast types of medical professionals.
