Meet the Staff

Andrea Ladia (she/her)

Andrea (she/her), 16, has the personality of a star with a heart bright enough to match. Andrea’s passion for social justice and gender equality brought her to Sex, Etc. and she is excited to share her voice. A social butterfly, Andrea loves acting and has participated in many of her school’s productions. She’s also an astronomy fan—she loves stars whether they’re on stage or in the sky! Andrea is passionate about improving the U.S. health care system and volunteers for a congenital heart disease foundation. She also adores thrifting and accessorizing; she’s never seen without a pair of platform shoes or hoop earrings! In Andrea’s free time she is a major reader (her favorite genre is romance) and enjoys taking relaxing walks. She is looking forward to working with her peers to find creative ways to share information about sexual health.
