Andrea graduated from Winona State University(Winona, Minnesota) in 1999 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. She returned back home to Milwaukee where she taught at 4 different elementary schools in Racine (St. Rita's, Roosevelt, Wind Point, and Julian Thomas) during her 19 year teaching career. During that time, Andrea taught 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grade and also received her Master’s Degree from Olivet Nazarene University in 2004 in Curriculum & Instruction. Although she never imagined doing anything other than teaching, in July of 2019 Andrea was offered an amazing opportunity by DBHW Wealth Partners! Because of her creativity, ability to build connections with people, and her attention to detail, Andrea was offered a job in Public Relations at our South Milwaukee location to build a better experience for our incredible clients and to establish a stronger culture within our staff. She gladly accepted and has thoroughly enjoyed building relationships with clients, planning events, creating a stronger bond between our business and the community, and developing a stronger bond among our team members.
Andrea spends some of her spare time creating personal, unique videos for weddings, birthdays, and other special occasions. She has been married to Lee for over 16 years. Together, they enjoy spending time at their campground on the weekends and love to travel anywhere tropical, especially by cruise ship! They share life with their sweet dog, Evie Lou, who brings lots of joy and energy to their days. Andrea and Lee also faithfully follow Wisconsin sports, always cheering on the Packers, Badgers, Brewers, and Bucks!
