At an early age, Aundrea developed a passion for understanding human behavior. Initially, she focused this attention on understanding herself and her family. Born and raised in southwest Louisiana, she never felt like she quite fit in with her family and social groups. As a result of her desire to understand, she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Louisiana State University. After graduating, she worked as a social worker at a state institution that housed mentally and developmentally disabled people.

​

As newlyweds, Aundrea and her husband moved to the Houston area. Within a couple of years, Aundrea became a member of the staff at her church. She found that church leadership contributed greatly to her quest for understanding human behavior, now from the perspective of the intersection between God and people. Eventually, she became the church administrator, and her husband became the youth pastor. As the church administrator, she was responsible for leadership training for staff and volunteers. During this time, she graduated from LeTourneau University with a Master of Business Administration. These experiences deepened her passion for helping individuals grow into their God-given potential and purpose.

​

In 2006, Aundrea and her husband decided to utilize their knowledge and experience by planting a church in Pearland, Texas. While assisting her husband in leading this church, Aundrea enrolled in Houston Graduate School of Theology (HGST) and earned a Master of Divinity degree. In addition to theological, biblical, and ecclesiological studies, she gained knowledge in spiritual formation and spiritual direction. These studies inspired her belief that individual transformation is possible with intention and community support. Aundrea co-pastored the church with her husband for nearly ten years, and together, they founded and ran a non-profit youth organization focusing on at-risk teenagers.

​

After over twenty years in church leadership, Aundrea shifted directions. This transition was influenced in part by her participation in Faithwalking, which deepened her understanding of spiritual formation and gave her greater self-awareness. Through Faithwalking, she was introduced to Family Systems Theory, which offered insights into both her family dynamics and the organizations she had been a part of. After Faithwalking, Aundrea decided to further explore these topics by returning to HGST to pursue a Doctor of Ministry degree, specializing in spiritual formation and spiritual direction. She graduated in December 2021. She received her certification as an enneagram teacher and practioner from The Narrative Enngram in June of 2024

Aundrea and her husband currently live in Pearland, Texas, and they have four children.
