She has been practicing as a nurse practitioner since 2004. Her initial field of expertise was Pediatric Hematology and Oncology before a very welcome move to the Dallas-Fort Worth area brought her to Cook Children's in 2012. After initially working in the Emergency Department and an in-patient unit at Cook Children's Medical Center, Andrea transitioned to the School Based Telemedicine Program in fall 2016. When Andrea is not working or chasing after her four children, she loves to indulge in a good book.
