In a fast-changing healthcare environment, Andrea is the epitome of effective leadership. Her foresight, strategic thinking, and commitment to personal and professional growth make her an exceptional leader." and "It was my pleasure to collaborate with Andrea for 13 years when we worked for one of the largest health insurers. From the beginning, Andrea impressed me with her willingness to commit the necessary time to develop our research story. She was open to being an active participant in developing collateral that would highlight the work of her team and our company in a way that many audiences could understand. This work was used consistently in annual reports, press releases, media interviews, videos, social media and internal communications. Andrea has an amazing ability to translate research findings into content that is compelling, interesting and understandable to non-research audiences. As a communications leader, it is wonderful and rare to work in true collaboration with someone who can do the science and also think like a strategic communicator. Andrea was also a wonderful coach for her team as she helped them develop some of these skills as well. I admired her commitment to train her team and give them an opportunity to learn and excel by putting them forward as the face of the project. While selfishly this provided me with a deep bench of researchers to tell more stories and help promote the team’s insights, her staff also benefited from this exposure in further developing their skills and their careers.
