As a member of our marketing team, Andrea focuses on developing GeoEngineers’ business in the Puget Sound and supporting initiatives nationwide. She identifies business opportunities, drafts proposals and qualification packages, plans events, develops marketing materials and facilitates communication and cooperation between our technical staff and the clients’ we serve.
“Our firm puts so much value on client relationships and it makes my role more dynamic and collaborative,” Andrea says.
While at the University of Washington, Andrea double majored in communications and sociology. Her interest in sociology fits well with her overall commitment to communities and the people who live in them—and she sees GeoEngineers’ work as an important driver of this kind of growth.
“What has really drawn me to this line of work is contributing to a company whose work touches my surrounding community,” Andrea says. “There is something special about being in an industry involved in the design, development, or revitalization of projects in our region, knowing that it effects the quality of our environment and surrounding communities.”
Andrea’s role at GeoEngineers is multi-faceted and requires a blend of creativity and practical project management skills. Fortunately, her positivity, energy and empathy gives her the tools she needs to connect different types of people and bring them together to work toward common project goals.
When she’s not busy balancing her work responsibilities Andrea looks for time to pursue her own interests. You might find her traveling, reading a new book, exploring the outdoors, or sampling the new restaurant down the street. She is also passionate about social justice and yoga.
