Her work is focused on increasing the accessibility of mental health services within culturally diverse communities and she is particularly interested in trauma-informed care and mindfulness.

She previously worked as a therapist at the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN), providing services in English, Spanish, and Arabic. Andrea holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Chicago, where she also completed her undergraduate studies in sociology.
