About Me

i'm andrea. i like harmony, and prefer for drama to stay on the big screen. i believe we're all connected, like patches on a big quilt. my patch is yellow with red poppies everywhere.

my passion in life is to educate and empower those who have experienced sexual assault. I organize benefit concerts across the US and skydive in order to bring awareness to this issue.
