Andreá continues to refine her vocal career with new heights in pursuing her Master’s degree.

She has participated in two opera productions: The Genius of Mozart scenes from works of Mozart as Vitellia from La Clemenza di Tito and her final performance, Spring 2019, was the role of Edith in the production of Pirates of Penzance.

In September of 2019, Andreá was invited to premiere an excerpt of Clarence Camron-White’s opera at the Videmus conference at the University of Michigan under Dr. Louise Toppin.
