Hello,

My name is Andrea.

I am German and have been living in New Windsor, NY, since 2014. I have a degree in Business Information Systems (60% CS, 40% BA) from a college in Germany and have been working in IT for about 20 years in different positions and companies. My work experience includes application and web development, system administration, technical support, and social entrepreneurship amongst others. I love learning and teaching. In Germany I facilitated various computer learning projects with Middle School students and senior citizens, and other social activities as a leading organizer.

My current job is with Schoology, an EdTech Company in NYC, where I have worked as a Support Engineer (now in Senior position) for the past 4.5 years. I also volunteered with coding activities in local schools in Cornwall (through Code.org) and Newburgh (Girls Who Code), and I am very interested in improving learning opportunities and student engagement through the use of technology. My current passion is Artificial Intelligence / Machine learning, where I try to get up to speed and hope to pass on / share my acquired knowledge in the future with students of all ages.

In my spare time I am usually with my horse Gibson, or in the gym. I also love mountain biking, traveling, and cooking.
