Bio
Lisa McIntyre-Hite, Ph.D.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Andrea at Laureate Education where she consistently demonstrated her exceptional skills and dedication in creative problem-solving and producing exceptional media products. She approached challenges with a unique perspective, often finding innovative solutions that go beyond the norm. Through her media production expertise and creativity, Andrea crafted engaging and impactful content that elevated the educational experience, ensuring that learners grasp concepts effectively. I could always rely on her for outstanding work and insightful collaboration. She was a team player who was open to ideas and suggestions, making her a joy to work with on any project. Her advice was valuable, drawing from a deep understanding of the subject matter and a keen awareness of the audience's needs. I have full confidence that she will excel in any role that calls for creativity, innovation, dedication, and a strong collaborative spirit.

I have had the pleasure of working with Andrea for the better part of a decade, and I hope to continue that for decades more! She is hard working, creative, and fun to be around. The best way to describe Andrea is as a unicorn; I truly feel that I have yet to see her encounter something that she cannot do. Every step of the immersive production process comes naturally to her, and I would says she is likely one of the most accomplished volumetric capture directors around. She also deftly handles data management, and is a great people manager. I am constantly amazed at how she manages to juggle conflicting deadlines and never miss any, and that can be attributed to both her own skills and her delegation skills. Andrea is also extremely creative, and is a constant thought partner of mine for new pilots. She has such a strong grasp of immersive media and Conversational AI video that I know I can come to her with thoughts and we can bounce around ideas that are interesting, unique, and achieve the end user experience.
