Biography
Born and raised in Waterbury, Connecticut, Andrea was a full-time Adult Probation Officer with the State of Connecticut before attending law school and graduating with honors. Her blue-collar upbringing instilled a sense of fairness and hard work that she uses to the great benefit of her clients.
She was also a longtime member of the Waterbury Boys' Club and has been a strong supporter of youth athletics in Waterbury, Southington, and Wolcott ever since. She is devoted to her alma mater, Sacred Heart High School, where in 2005 she was honored with the school's Distinguished Alumni Award. She now serves on the school's Advancement Committee.
Andrea is admitted to practice before all courts in the State of Connecticut and the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.
