About Me

If someone ever tells you, “I don’t like talking about myself,” that is a DANG LIE! Because y’all know you do. That being said, yes, this section is going to be preeeetty lengthy. My name is Andrea aka Drea aka Dre aka Victoria (club name.) I was born in New York, grew up in Jersey (BERGEN) and call the Bay Area “my second home” (YEE!) After I graduated from Berkeley in ’06, I moved to the Dirrty South to write business news for The Ledger-Enquirer, the local newspaper in Columbus, Ga. (which is where I currently reside.) Since moving to the South, I have tried incorporating words like “shawty” and “finna” into my vocabulary (I usually just end up getting laughed at, though.) Besides advancing my career, I also moved down here to meet fine-ass Southern men who call me “Shug” or “Miss Lady”…I mean, educated Southern gentlemen who hold doors open for me. OK, scratch that…because like my grandma (aka Lola Maring) always says, “No boyfriend until you’re 35! Study first!” Anyway, if you want to see some of my work, just go to www.ledger-enquirer.com (the business section.) Hollerrrrrrrrrr…
