She has extensive experience in counseling, crisis intervention, and community support. Shortly after graduating from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, Andrea pursued her licensing and began realizing her vision of creating a safe, supportive space where individuals could access vital resources and emotional guidance.

Her professional journey led her to work for the City of New York, serving low-income, disenfranchised, and migrant populations. She provided guidance to tenants facing eviction, victims of reverse mortgage fraud, and families in shelters seeking permanent affordable housing. This role gave her a broad perspective on housing challenges in New York and highlighted gaps in existing services, inspiring her to create Wright at Home to address these unmet needs.
