Andrew has been passionate about non-profit work through his student experience with environmental activism with NYPIRG and while working at the Community Economic Development Program at Fordham University. He came to the Puffin Foundation as a volunteer, an intern, after which he was hired as a Grant Manager. His talent for curation was recognized when he was chosen to direct the activities of the Puffin Cultural Forum, which include art exhibitions, performances, and community events. Andrew has a degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Law from Binghamton University. He loves live music, the outdoors, and can usually be found on local tennis courts on the weekends.
Andrea is a multimedia creative who earned her bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a focus on Political Theory from Columbia University. She is thrilled to combine her writing and creative skills with her passions for community, social justice, and the arts at the Puffin. Working next to a birding site is a bonus! In her personal life, she is a lifelong multidisciplinary artist, and organizes around the equity and inclusion of disabled people. She also knows far too much about 70s-80s funk, disco, and pop music for being a Zoomer.
