Andrea

Andrea’s work and travel assignments have taken her to more than 30 countries around the world. She has lived in Italy, Spain, and France, and her fascination for global art, style, and culture comes through whether she is cooking with chefs, dancing flamenco, or celebrating the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona.

Andrea enjoys interviewing cultural experts, chefs, artists, and designers and has produced cultural travel segments in Greece, Sweden, Argentina, Sicily, South Africa, and numerous other exotic locales.

With her Travelista partner Teri, she co-hosted red carpet interviews at Urban World Film Festival; Sundance Film Festival; AOL; and co-directed and hosted AOL’s Return to New Orleans webisode series. She is featured in the series “All Girls Getaway” for Fine Living Network; and has been interviewed on Chuck D’s Air America program and the Tom Joyner Morning Show.

Andrea is also the creator of the The Velvet Circle, a lifestyle company focused on art, style, and events in Italy and New York. Most recently she produced segments for Wine and Fashion Florence, Art Basel, and New York Fashion Week, spotlighting fashion photographer Nigel Barker, supermodel Alek Wek, model/activist Angela Lindvall, and actors James Lesure and Lauren Hutton.

Andrea earned a BS and MBA on full scholarship from Florida A & M University, and speaks Italian and French. She studied Italian at Centro Linguistico Alighieri, and has taken courses at the School of Visual Arts, Media Bistro, Chicago City Limits and Cape’s Coaching in NYC.
