Andrea has worked in the veterinary field since 1999. She graduated from Cosumnes River College in 2007 with her AS in veterinary technology. For as long as she can remember, Andrea has always had a strong gravitation toward animals of all kinds. Growing up, she raised a multitude of sheep and later won Grand Champion in FFA. She loves to travel and stay at the beach, where every tide pool and overturned rock is a new and exciting discovery. Andrea enjoys being outdoors, gardening in the sunshine, and spending time with her husband. She has two cats, Summer and Casper, a tortoise, fish, and chickens [citation].
