My name is Andrea Herrada and I am an educator and project manager. I am currently located in Tampa, FL.
I am Latina/Hispanic, mother of 3 daughters, married to my high school sweetheart and a 2x WGU Alumni.
I didn't always plan on becoming an educator but I did know I wanted to work with children in some capacity. After initially completing my first semester at my local community college, I switched my Associates degree major from Social Worker to Teacher Preparation. I graduated with my Associates of Arts in May of 2014.
***Flashback to July 2008 (my highschool freshman summer) this is when I met my amazing high school sweetheart, now husband, Oscar Herrada. We dated from 2008 until 2014 when we became engaged. We had our first daughter on July 16, 2015 and tied the knot on May 9, 2016.***
I continued my college education at Western Governor's University (go Night Owls!) to receive my Bachelors of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (Elementary Education focus) in December 2019.
We welcomed our second daughter on January 12, 2020.
We welcome our third daughter on September 10, 2022.
I recently graduated from Western Governor's University completing my Master's of Arts degree in Mathematics Education in May 2025. Although my heart is in the classroom with my students, I would like to use the mathematical expertise I gained from my continued education to work in mathematics curriculum development.
I still focus on supporting homeschool families and students through educatinglittleminds via consultation services.
I currently transitioned into an administrative role as an Admissions & Student Services Manager for a post-secondary midwifery school (Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery) and a Project Manager contractor role at a continuing education platfrom (KIBI Consulting, Research and Education) while I homeschool my three daughters and continue my journey into math curriculum development and post-secondary education.
I am a passionate foodie, space enthusiast, and traveler. My family inspires me daily to be a better educator while continously learning myself each day.
