Andrea followed her Bachelor of Biological Sciences from the University of Alberta with a Diploma in Animation Art and Design from the Art Institute of Vancouver.
Her production experience includes work as an Animation Layout Artist, and Production Coordinator within Vancouver's entertainment industry. Inclusively, in 2011, she formed Mayo Motion Inc. to provide a VFX team for the feature film "The Story of Luke". Through the MDM, she gained mobile game business development, and game design experience from working on industry projects with Hothead Games and East Side Games.
She has also pursued interactive media projects that facilitate the communication of difficult health topics to children. Her experiences in this area include an animated look at the role of genetics in lactose intolerance for Gene Screen BC, and a sexual health mobile application for children and adolescents with Dr. Jillian Roberts.
The MDM program has heightened Andrea’s interest in project management within collaborative and multi-disciplinary digital media projects.
