After shooting with that photographer one time, Andrea then began her career as a pin up and glamour model.

Andrea grew deeply passionate about the health and fitness industry. With her modeling career demanding an EXTREMLY conscientious health and body fitness awareness. Andrea became captivated by the fitness and health world, and thus began her career as a fitness model, at the age of 24, after spotting a fitness magazine in the check-out isle of her local grocery store. She looked up at her boyfriend at the time and said the following words “I’m going to be on the cover of this magazine!” Just two months later, she was! With a strong passion for working out and the fitness lifestyle Andrea quickly realized that she wanted to begin creating a dynamic brand behind herself. Dropping her fake name, Andrea moved forward into the fitness model industry, where she became the “eye candy” to get the men to purchase the magazines. Soon after, magazine covers followed!

During this same time, Andrea’s health began to fail, due to her high protein diet, and on going battle with bulimia for almost two years, which had now, began to take its toll.
