Andrea has spent her personal and professional life engaging with the question: How can we, as women, realize our own internal power both personally and professionally, no matter the constraints in the external world? As Director of the Leadership Program at DePaul University College of Education, where she has spent the last twenty years. Andrea has taught, written, spoken, and consulted, all around the country and world, in the areas of empowered leadership, feminist leadership, emotionally intelligent leadership, constructive culture and conflict resolution, data-informed professional learning communities, and the area she has developed called Internally Referenced Leadership™. Andrea's most recent book (University of Iowa Press in the Fall of 2021), empowerment course, and leadership coaching program are entitled Kicking Ass in a Corset: Jane Austen’s 6 Principles of Internally Referenced Leadership for an Internally Referenced Life™. Andrea has presented this transformative work at conferences and workshops throughout the country. The book and program are for all women who want to tap into their internal power; there is no need to have knowledge or be a fan of Jane Austen. Utilizing Austen as an archetypal springboard, practical exercises, real-life case studies, and scholarship, Kicking Ass in a Corset™ is a road map that teaches women of any age or profession how to tune out the external noise and listen to themselves. Andrea's first book, Oxford Messed Up, was honored with a 2012 “IPPY” award from the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Best Adult Fiction E-Book, earning a Gold medal for being among the most “heartfelt, unique, outspoken and experimental” entries. It has also been named a Finalist in the E-Book category of the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Andrea earned a bachelor's degree from Vassar College, a master's degree in Education from Harvard University, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She lives in Oak Park, Illinois with her husband and their beautiful blended family and, of course, her Pride and Prejudoodle, Addy.
