Andrea is an Ottawa lawyer by profession and a long time eclipse chaser and amateur astronomer.  Years of star hopping left her unprepared to handle her spanking new computerized telescope. This lay quiet and undisturbed in her basement while she raised her children.  However during the lockdowns of the Covid pandemic she set up the scope in her basement and stayed there until she ran through every possible menu in the hand controller.

Andrea enjoys astrophotography of every kind from solar system objects to far away galaxies.  Her work has been published various astronomy publications.  Andrea has won awards and has completed several astronomical certifications.

She is very grateful to her dear husband who is always willing to provide good company, as well as safety and security during her astronomical adventures.
