Andrea graduated from Strathclyde University with a BSc (Hons) in Mathematical Sciences. She received her PhD in Statistics and Modelling Sciences in 1996, after which she took up a post as a statistician with the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ASLPAC) in the department of Social Medicine, University of Bristol. After a 3 year Wellcome Trust Training Fellowship in Mathematical Biology, and a secondment to the Laboratory of Statistical Genetics at Rockefeller University, New York City, she took up a Research Fellow post at the Paediatric Epidemiology and Child Health (PEACH) Unit at Glasgow University. In 2008, Andrea was appointed a Lecturer in Statistics at the University of Glasgow Dental School, and a year later was promoted to Senior Lecturer. She is a Chartered Statistician and Chartered Scientist (Royal Statistical Society), and is a statistical reviewer for Archives of Disease in Childhood.
