After graduating with her Athletic Therapy degree in 2009, Andrea started a small business working with various rugby volleyball and football teams. Networking through these associations lead to her acquiring contracts with Cirque Du Soliel and led to her work with the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Physical activity has always been an important part of Andrea’s life. She grew up engaging in a variety of sports including horseback riding, running, cycling, rowing, and paddling. More recently she competed in bodybuilding competitions and now has aspirations in completing her first triathlon.
