I’m Andria, a Speaker, Facilitator & Consultant with The Diversity Agency. I speak on topics about Wellness, Self-confidence, Unconscious Bias & Entrepreneurship.

I also work with the team at SheaMoisture offering $10,000 grants to women entrepreneurs.

I am a SheEO/Coralus Activator, Co-Founder of the Banker Ladies Council and a former member of Brampton Mayor’s COVID-19 Economic Support Task Force.

I’m an active investor supporting women entrepreneurs, and serve on the boards of the Culinary Tourism Alliance, Help A Girl Out and PACE (Project for the Advancement of Childhood Education).

I am also a member of the Peel Regional Police Anti-Racism Advisory Committee.

​2 years in a row, CanadianSME named me as one of the Most Inspiring Women Entrepreneurs & Business Leaders, and in 2022 I was the winner of the Rotman Family Entrepreneur of the Year.

I look forward to connecting and to helping you grow your business!
