Picture
Andrea has been the Director of the Orchestra, Piano & IB Music at James Island Charter High School since 2007. The Piano program was established in 2008 and has grown to be the largest, most successful non-magnet Piano program in the tri-county area. The Orchestra Program most recently received a straight Superior rating at the 2018 SC State Music Performance Assessment. She spent 9 years teaching Chorus at JICHS from 2007-2017 and saw enrollment more than triple under her direction. Her Piano and Strings students perform regularly in and around the community. Andrea was Co-Chair of the Leadership Team for the 2017-18 school year and Fine Arts Chair for JICHS from 2015-2018.  She has been a finalist several times for Teacher of the Year at JICHS. She was a panelist for the Patriots Point Science Café Program to speak about “Science Behind Music, Math and Messages” in the Spring of 2018 to veteran teachers in CCSD. 

A native of Miami, Florida, she has her Masters Degree in Music Education from the University of South Carolina where she was the Graduate Assistant of the USC String  Project.
