Roz instilled a strong sense of family in Andra, and just like her mother, she loves to host special gatherings at her house. She is a proud mother to four successful adult children and a grandmother to three adorable grandchildren, with more on the way. Andra always finds reasons to bring the family together.

Andra has an instinct for taking care of people. She finds joy in listening to and giving advice to family and friends, helping neighbors, and contributing to her community. After the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, she began volunteering at a local church, cooking for people in need. You can still find her there every Tuesday and Thursday and on Thanksgiving Day, bringing along her beloved mother. Despite her dementia, Andra’s mother is warmly embraced by all and treated with utmost kindness and respect.

Andra owns several small businesses: All About The Face, On The Glow Tanning, and Great Finds For U, all with the goal of helping people look and, more importantly, feel their best. She is planning the launch of a new podcast called 1hr2empower, which will do just that. The podcast will provide a platform for people to share their stories of adversity, how they were able to  overcome it and inspire others to do the same.

Andra’s mother, Roz, has always supported and encouraged her big ideas. One of her biggest is the launch of a new online

platform for the single community called Single Glow®. Her goal is to create a space where people can “Meet People Not

Profiles®” authentically and maybe, along the way, be lucky enough to meet the love of their life!

Since her mother’s dementia diagnosis over a decade ago, Andra has always felt that it is her turn to provide the unwavering support she has always received from her mother. She treasures every precious moment they still have together.

To contribute to finding a cure for this devastating disease, Andra has committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from this book to further Dementia/Alzheimer’s Research.
