My name is Andrea Lirio, and I'm a recent grad from UC Berkeley hoping to join the entertainment world as a communications leader working on story-driven projects. I graduated from Newton South in 2017 and decided to take a gap year full of traveling and gaining work experience.

After two years at Bryn Mawr College, I began my second gap year to write and publish my first book Creative @ Work. After taking time off, I dove back into the books at Berkeley studying Media Studies. In 2022, I interned at Pixar Animation Studios on the Publicity team. Now, I live in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi!

I love baking, reading non-fiction, traveling, writing, watching Disney+, and designing things for fun.
