Andrea was born in Montreal, Quebec, and raised north of Toronto in the Unionville area.  She moved to London in 1989, where she  attended the University of Western Ontario where she earned her Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology in 1995 and her Bachelors of Laws degree in 2001.

After enjoying successful articles with our firm in 2001-2002, Andrea was called to the Bar in 2002 and was a welcome addition to the firm.  Andrea's practice is focused primarily in the area of family law and has contributed greatly to the expansion of this department.  She has developed her practice to include the typical financial and child related issues surrounding separation but also adoptions and surrogacy agreements.  Andrea's practice also includes wills and estates.

Andrea is dedicated to her community and this is reflected through community involvement including, sitting on the Board of Youth Opportunities Unlimited for seven years and volunteering at her church.  She expanded her educational experience by volunteering at Community Legal Services while attending Law School.  She credits this early training for giving her the interest in litigation and assisting those caught in legal disputes.

Andrea resides with her husband, Kelly and family in Aylmer.
