Background
Before coming to Duke, Andrea taught General Biology, Zoology, Neurobiology and Physiology at Johnson C. Smith University, and conducted supplemental active learning sessions for biology students. She assisted other faculty use technology in instruction and delivered courses to other universities via videoteleconferencing. She encouraged students to participate in summer research internships with a combination of workshops, classroom visits and one-on-one counseling.
As a faculty member in biology at UMass Boston, Andrea taught a variety of neurobiology courses, investigated the neural and hormonal control of behavior in her laboratory, supervised undergraduate and graduate student researchers, and set up and funded an undergraduate neurobiology teaching laboratory.
Andrea earned a PhD at the UC Irvine and did postdoctoral research at the Marine Biomedical Institute at the University of Texas Medical Branch and at the Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Oregon. Her research papers have broadly focused on the neural and hormonal basis of behavior.
