Andrea became an AYP member in 2015 when she moved from Wellington to Auckland for work, she joined because she wanted to surround herself with like-minded young professionals.

Since then, she has been involved in in various ways from helping out in a general capacity, to overseeing AYP’s strategy and looking after secretary duties.
