Andrea works with Calvary Preschool, overseeing billing and contracts, ordering supplies, organizing the preschool library, and assisting with special events. Before joining the preschool staff in 2013, Andrea’s three children attended CPS, and their experience was an incredible blessing. Now, Andrea appreciates the relationships she’s built with coworkers, students, and their families. Andrea and her husband enjoy spending time with their three children—who all play sports! When not watching them play, they enjoy hiking and traveling.
