Angela was born and raised in MI, but in her words, “…is working on becoming a southern belle.”  She has a bachelor’s degree in Health Care Administration.  Her husband, Tom, is a retired Marine and they have 3 wonderful boys.  She enjoys reading, writing, photography, and is a soccer mom extraordinaire.  She has worked for years with many different nonprofit organizations and has experience in event planning and fund raising.  She learned at an early age, from her mother and grandmother, how to lend a helping hand to others in a time of need, by offering support, an ear to listen, or a hot meal.  Her passion and personal mission in life is to further this legacy by sharing the love of Jesus with those she meets.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

New Hope is her home, from her heart, and she wants to give back to it now for her own children and others, so they will always have an appreciation for their small town roots. Reflecting on her own values of faith, love and hope, she sees this community being an essential part of that. She feels being a member of the CARE Center team has allowed her to hold herself accountable to help improve the future success of the youth here. She believes keeping the lines of communication open with a positive emphasis on school and the importance of graduation is vital to the success of New Hope. An education is something that can never be taken away and her daily goal is to ensure that each child at New Hope attains their educational opportunities.

Andrea loves to help and encourage those around her.  She loves being able to be the hands and feet of our Savior.  This is one of the main reasons she came to be a part of the CARE Center.  She loves that the CARE Center is here to give our neighbors the resources they need to develop and discover their own God given talents.  She loves being involved with NHES because we all know that the children are our future.  The majority of the groundwork for our future is laid in elementary schools across America each and every day.  Andrea feels completely blessed and honored to have the opportunity to assist and encourage faculty and staff at NHES.
