In 2018, Andrea began serving as a full time Technology Support Specialist at Alamitos. Andrea was nominated for this recognition by several staff members at Alamitos Intermediate who are forever grateful for the support she provided the school during distance learning, as well as all that she does day in and day out. Staff shared that they would not have made it out of the pandemic without Andrea. Another staff member shared you can frequently hear Andrea being summoned on the walkie talkies at any given time to help problem solve technology issues and ensure classroom technology is in working order. She is a valuable asset to the Alamitos school community.
