I grew up on a ranch in Manhattan, Montana. I attended MSU and MSU-Northern, earning a degree in Business and honors in Basketball (First woman inducted into the MSU-Northern Hall of Fame.) I have been an advisor with Northwestern Mutual since 1987.
I live happily with my husband Arron and three kids on the family ranch. I love riding my Friesian, helping my parents manage their cattle, and I love playing with my four Australian Shepherds.

Lending a hand in my community.
I believe that being involved in our community is critically important and I love to give back to the area that my family and I grew up in... especially when it comes to our youth. The following are organizations that I am involved in and am passionate about:
Association of Gallatin Agricultural Irrigators (AGAI)
The mission of the Association of Gallatin Agricultural Irrigators is to be the guardian and advocate of the Gallatin River System through the protection of its historically decreed water rights. (Immediate Past President and Chairman of Legal Committee)
Northwestern Mutual Government Delegate Relations Team-Montana (Liaison)
Government Relations Delegates are Financial Advisors who have volunteered to be a liaison between the Northwestern Mutual Government Relations department and their network office colleagues. These individuals regularly take time away from their business and families to meet with their elected officials to educate them on how our industry offers a solution to the country's financial security challenges.
Gallatin County 4-H (Sponsor)
Nothing makes me feel prouder than catching a kid doing something right and supporting 4-H! I am a long-time proud sponsor of Gallatin County 4-H project. I sponsor the Grand Champion Senior Showman and the Grand Champion Junior Showman Swine Belt Buckles every year. I showed horses, Black Angus cattle, and sheep in 4-H when I was young. I strongly believe that 4-H is a wonderful organization for our children to belong to. I continue to sponsor the Big Sky Country State Fair.
4-H Swine Committee (Past Member)
Andrea is also a long-time member of the Gallatin County Swine Committee, which is the second largest project in the county.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
