Andrea is a Los Angeles native. She has spent her entire life in theatre, music, and literature. She has traveled to many parts of the world and is very proud of her cultural heritage - Austrian-Jewish on one side, and Greek on the other (and, yes, she makes the BEST baklava, since you were clearly wondering).

Raised by a father who taught English for many years, Andrea has a deep well of knowledge in grammar and writing. She is an avid reader of fiction, non-fiction, and plays. One of her New Years Resolutions a few years ago was to read a play a week, and her dedication has not wavered. Who's her favorite playwright, you may ask? Tennessee Williams is the clear winner. She also stays up-to-date on news and current events.

She and her cousin Lexi co-founded Words Between Coasts, a blog committed to activism through art and conversation. They are committed to helping artists of all kinds find their voices and tell their stories. WBC's aim is to touch souls, change lives, and broaden perspective and tolerance. They publish many different genres, from opinion pieces, to fiction, to humor.
