Andrea is an education futurist who makes uncertain futures actionable for clients through research based foresight, highly creative engagement experiences, visual maps and artifacts. With many years of speaking and consulting experience, she partners with diverse stakeholders to bring long-term horizons into focus, imagine possible opportunities and create strategic pathways to transformation.

Her recent work has focused on helping to imagine and create a liberatory education landscape in which systems and structures are unconstrained by oppression and provide all learners opportunities for self-determination, agency in making the world more just and self-efficacy for personal growth and development.

Andrea has been a consulting member of the strategic foresight team at KnowledgeWorks Foundation since 2006, leading research-based forecasts, creating images and scenarios of possible futures, and designing and facilitating stakeholder engagements. Topics include: liberatory education futures, redefining readiness through relational competencies, human-centered learning systems, and cultivating educational ecosystems for transformational learning.

She partnered with the Long Now Foundation and co-developed a course at California State University East Bay to help educators and students develop a long term thinking mindset necessary to understand and solve complex societal challenges.

Her work with ISKME, involved co-developing Action Collabs, a user-focused, collaboration and design approach to empower educators to design teaching and learning innovations.
