For the last decade "Andee" has enjoyed implementing design and construction, where she led multiple design-build projects in high-end residential homes and commercial buildings. Her advanced studies in pursuit of her Masters in Architecture (M.ARCH) solidified her love for construction, which led her to create her own firm.

Before joining the corporate world, Andee served six years on active duty as a communications officer in the U. S. Army.

Although the Signal Corps was her branch specialty, she acted as Company Commander for a 130-person Headquarters Company within a Military Intelligence Battalion.

Following Active Duty, Andee continued to serve in the U. S. Army Reserve for another seven years in the role of Military Academy Liaison (MALO) where she met with and guided high school students seeking admissions to West Point.
