Andrea lives in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, a city on the border of North Dakota in northern Minnesota.
Her dad taught her how to hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors. Together, they had so many great memories doing what they both loved. Andrea’s first Her Wilderness trip was for ruffed grouse and woodcock in September of 2020! She knew after that trip her life had changed for the better! Andrea loves anything that she can hunt, but upland and waterfowl are her favorites.
Exploring in the outdoors and creating new adventures for herself and like-minded women is a passion for her! Someday soon, she hopes to fulfill her dream of a mountain elk hunt!
