We’re passionate about helping you grow and make an impact
Meet Andria, Founder
After 20 years in corporate learning and development, I left driven by a vision for elevating and empowering women. I knew we could do more to ‘ignite the power of women’ by engaging in community and leveraging the power of mentorship.
My passion is to see women become all they are capable of being, rather than live in self-doubt. I live with a big vision and thrive on imparting that to other women and empowering their dreams. A friend once said, “I see in you what you don’t see in yourself.” That is the heart behind The Mentors Collective – for women to be seen and know they are worthy, courageous, amazing and capable of impacting our world for good!
Like many women, I juggle career, family, health and wellbeing, so I understand the possibilities and challenges we face. And I believe there’s never been a better time to a woman! A native of California, I lived on both coasts and several states in between. While in college, I left my heart in San Diego and am blessed to reside here where I enjoy time with my family, the beach, camping, bookstores and taco stands.
