About Andrea:

Once upon a time in a kingdom not far away, Andrea was sick of answering phones and filing forms. Her kingdom was running low on gold and the wise wizard told her to find work that she loved and she would never truly work a day in her life. When she found the magical SQL Server, she knew it was the calling for her. She is passionate about SQL Server, “works” as a Database Administrator, is learning Sign Language, loves her #SQLFamily and finds joy in helping others find their passion too.

Wife to Ryan Allred and mom to two awesome teenagers. Loves Music, concerts, guitars, snowboarding, bouldering and acting. 16 years of SQL Server experience SQL SLC User group Chapter Leader Allred_andrea@yahoo.com @RoyalSQL, www.RoyalSQL.com
