HI, I’M ANDREA.

I’m a consultant, artist, community organizer, educator, and facilitator with more than two decades of experience working at the intersection of disability, community, education, and the arts. Across these different roles, my work explores questions of belonging, power, participation, and how people build meaningful communities together.

I co-founded and served as the former Executive Director of The Wayfaring Band, a Denver-based nonprofit that creates adventure travel and immersive learning opportunities for adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. During nearly a decade of leadership, I helped grow the organization from a small experimental travel program into an established nonprofit. My work included organizational strategy, financial management, fundraising, staff and board development, accessible program design, community partnerships, and anti-ableism education.

Today, I work as an organizational development and strategy consultant. I partner with nonprofit leaders and organizations on strategic planning, leadership development and coaching, program design and assessment, cross-disability inclusion and accessibility, community engagement, facilitation, and systems change. Much of my work focuses on helping organizations move from good intentions and big ideas toward structures and practices that people can actually use.

My creative work explores social and cultural belonging through writing, performance, installation art, and traditional crafts. I also teach and facilitate learning experiences on community building, disability inclusion, accessibility, creative activism, and related topics. Whether I’m developing an organizational strategy, facilitating a difficult conversation, teaching a workshop, or making art, I’m interested in creating spaces where people can participate meaningfully and where different ways of thinking, communicating, and contributing are valued.

I honor and acknowledge that I live and work primarily on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Nations. I also travel frequently across an area that was the site of trade, hunting, gathering, and healing for many other Native Nations, including the Lakota, Ute, Kiowa, Tongva, Chumash, Comanche, Apache, Shoshone, Diné, and various Pueblo communities, among others. I recognize Indigenous peoples as the earliest relatives of the land and water, as well as plants and animals. I pay my respects to the vibrant, evolving Indigenous cultures and communities that continue to persist and thrive across Turtle Island, and I give thanks to the many Native friends, community members, elders, and ancestors for their invaluable contributions to our collective well-being.
