About Andrea

Andrea conducts thorough research on relevant social, economic, and political issues that align with farmers and Pasa’s mission.

Andrea earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Lebanon Valley College, where she developed a passion for understanding the intricacies of political systems and their impacts on marginalized communities. Post-graduation, Andrea channeled her enthusiasm for social change into action by joining CASA, a non-profit committed to advancing the rights of immigrants and fostering inclusive communities. She played a key role in state and local campaigns by collaborating with fellow advocates to bring attention to the complexities of immigration policies. Andrea brings a unique perspective to the world of farming, combining a passion for policy analysis with a deep appreciation for the importance of sustainable and equitable agricultural practices. She values active engagement in policy advocacy and saw that Pasa desires to contribute to systemic change by influencing and promoting sustainable agriculture policies, prompting her to join the team. 

Andrea lives in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and is DACAmented. She enjoys exploring the world through food and travel. Andrea also enjoys hiking and iced coffee and is on the hunt for her next binge-worthy Netflix series.
