Hi! I'm Andra

It is an honor to be part of this new initiative and to connect with parents in such a meaningful way. Having spent the last 17 years as a middle school counselor at The Davis Academy, and now in my 18th year, I’ve been fortunate to witness the growth and success of countless students. As a parent of two Davis alumni, both now in college, I also understand firsthand the journey of raising children within this special community. What excites me most about the Davis Parenting Network is to bring parents together—to connect them with expert speakers, valuable resources, and the strong support systems we have here at Davis. My primary goal is to create a welcoming, nurturing space where they can find the connections and insights needed to support their parenting journey.

 I look forward to working alongside all our parents.
