Professional Bio
Andrea was born and raised in Mapleton, Maine. Growing up in The County and the daughter of a District Forester taught her discipline and a good work ethic at a young age. Every fall was spent splitting and stacking wood to heat the house. She joined the AGC team in August 2016 as a temporary employee and became a permanent hire in December 2016. Currently, she is the Finance & Operations Manager and handles operations, finance, and event management, and is the primary contact for the Association. She is a 1999 graduate of University of Maine at Presque Isle with a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation. Prior to joining AGC, Andrea worked for 13 years in the banking industry.
For Fun: Andrea enjoys being active and outdoors. She has climbed Katahdin 5 times and been to Baxter Peak, traversed the Knife’s Edge, Pamola Peak 2 times and Chimney Pond 3 times. Andrea is a member of the 2017 Ragnar Relay Race – Adirondacks and 2018 Ragnar Relay Race – Reach the Beach. Spare time activities include running, hiking, fishing, boating and anything outdoors. Reading could also be added if she knew how to put the book down before 1 AM!
Interesting Tidbit: Andrea was diagnosed with asthma at 9 months old and struggled for many years to stay active with frequent hospital visits. Stubborn-ness and “wanting to be like everyone else” has motivated her to keep moving and exercising. Her first cross-country race in the 6th grade had 40 girls in the race………………………….she finished 38th!
