Andrea’s family fled war-torn Cyprus in 1974, landing in South Australia in 1976 when she was just 11 months old. Andrea’s family arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Through her parents’ hard work and commitment to family and a dedication to their community, Andrea was instilled with a passion for community service.
