Andi's biggest turn on is walking on set and hearing ACTION!

When she's not on set living an imagined life, she's a certified IDC intimacy coordinator, creating a safe set as an advocate for actors filming intimate scenes. She's also a mindful child acting coach who teaches children mindfulness and meditation, which allows them to explore their love of acting and imagination from a still place.

Andi's acting career started after a wicked mid-life crash forced her to re-examine her life course. She made the ultimate decision to break free from domesticity and unleash her humor on stage performing stand-up comedy. She wrote jokes about the perils of parenting and marriage for almost three years and appeared at The Comedy Store, The Ice House, West Side Comedy Theatre, Flappers and other comedy venues across Los Angeles.

She eventually parlayed her comedy chops into acting after securing a commercial agent. Andi has booked over 100 commercials, independent films, Lifetime movies and music videos. Not bad for an old broad who followed her childhood dream of becoming an actor in her mid 40's.

Andi’s career in television began as a junior at the University of Miami, where she was a Hurricanette dancer for “The U” football game half-time shows. While living in Miami, she was selected as a contestant at the Broward County Fair, and flown to Los Angeles to appear and find love on “The All New Dating Game.” Following her appearance, Andi convinced the executive producer to grant her an internship the following summer. After two weeks, Andi was a full time employee working as a contestant coordinator for Barris Productions, on "The All New Dating Game," and “The All New Newlywed Game,” #luckybreak

For over 15 years Andi continued her casting career on “The Love Connection," “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” “The Big Date,” “The Quiz Kids Challenge,” “America’s Most Talented Kids” and many more. She was also a producer on the syndicated relationship show “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus” hosted by Cybill Shepherd.

Now that Andi is an empty nester, she practices mindfulness daily with meditation, breath work, and yoga. She also enjoys traveling, hiking in the Santa Monica mountains and stand-up paddle boarding in the ocean.

Andi hopes her story will inspire others, especially mothers, who may be yearning for more or seeking a career change in midlife. “You’re never too old to follow your dream. Just believe in yourself, persevere, and above all, have faith.”

Andi’s favorite quote is by John Burroughs, “Leap and the net will appear.”
