I love seeing the “light bulb” moments in children and helping them learn, grow, and accomplish their developmental milestones. I am humbled by the great honor it is to be a part of the most important ages of their development. I joined the Trinity family in the summer of 2019. I graduated from Concordia University Saint Paul, MN with a teaching degree in Health and Physical Education. I have a strong Spanish background and love integrating other languages into my classroom. I have been a teacher for the last decade at an early childhood program, serving as the Kindergarten readiness teacher. I taught Spanish in several early childhood programs in the Twin Cities area, exposing children to Spanish and integrating components of sign language. I have been married to the love of my life, Scott, for 11 years. We have two beautiful boys, Levi and Felix. As a family, we love daily dance parties! I absolutely love fishing and catching a muskie is on my bucket list. Fun fact: I love to travel and have been to the following places – many destinations were for missionary work – South Korea, Japan, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and 27/50 states. My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I love to be a part of anything music related when I can. I love to spend my time outside doing various activities like hiking or swimming. I love working with children and have done so through babysitting and nannying. I love seeing the lightbulb moments in a child's eyes when they understand and learn a new concept for the first time.

Hi! My name is Andria. I am an education major at CUW and I love working with children of all ages! I think that seeing children learn, practice, and master a new or existing skill is one of the most rewarding things about the education world! I joined the Trinity Childcare Team in August of 2021. Before working at Trinity, I have worked at many other daycare facilities, nannied for families, taught English in China, and being an education major most of my college career involves being with children.

And I recently got engaged to my high school sweetheart! Some of my favorite Bible verses are Matthew 18:3-4 which says, “And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” I love these verses because the faith of a child is truly something remarkable. Although I believe that I am here to teach children about what it means to have faith, I know I also have so much to learn from them!
