My name is Andréa (On-dray-uh). I am an academic, an author, a researcher, an historian, an archivist, a caregiver, a sister, a daughter, a cat mom, a friend, a fighter, and a soul searcher. I am a badass word ninja and book nerd fueled by local coffee, fresh air, and all things creative.

My interests are rich and varied and in part I am using this site to acknowledge all of my interests after a lifetime of segregating personal from professional, aspiring from practiced. These are the things I am currently developing (in no particular order): travel writing; archiving in manuscripts and special collections; novel writing; academic writing, researching, and presenting; caregiving; traveling; grieving.

I hope you enjoy my story. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me link to contact form.
