Andi graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in English literature and quickly went to work as an education assistant and then manager for the Victoria Theatre Association in Dayton, Ohio. She realized then that she loved diversity in her daily tasks and in the people she encountered.

Her love of the arts then took Andi on a different path. For 23 years, Andi has been a backstage dresser for professional Broadway tours, operas, ice shows, concerts, and everything in between. For the past eight years, she has honed her scheduling, organizing, and negotiating skills as the business agent for the local IATSE wardrobe union. She has worked in every venue in the Dayton metropolitan area and has met (and dressed) some unforgettable and fascinating people!

While working within the world of theater, Andi has also worked, volunteered, and served as a board member for various nonprofits and companies. She has organized events, written grants, handled social media, and conquered whatever was thrown her way.

Andi joined Dragonfly in early 2020 as the operations coordinator, and her role has evolved. She is now an integral part of the management team, working as Dragonfly’s first culture manager, and is a member of the project management team.

Andi leads initiatives in Dragonfly culture development; employee engagement; diversity, equity, and inclusion; internal communications; event planning; and human resources compliance.

When not working, Andi spends time with her fabulous husband and three almost-grown children, or volunteers in her church or community with her friends. She loves her dogs, Willoughby and Darcy; soccer; music; baking; traveling; and working on her family’s historic home.
