Dr. Ande is an award-winning author, media host, model, speaker and performer.
She is the host of Business Talk with Dr. Ande on KIVA Talk Radio and The Successful Job Seeker podcast on Dr. Ande Radio as part of The Broadcasting Network. Her eRadio broadcasts received more than 1000 hits during the first week of broadcasting, which for minimum advertising and no sponsors at the time was amazing. This landed her shows in the eBook: Talk Radio Wants You: An Intimate Guide...How to Get Invited, (ISBN: 9780786440337 | Francine Silverman - author). She did this with only an idea and a natural irreverence to figuring it all out as she went along.
She spent almost two decades as an independent contractor working through the Temporary Employment industry. It was her years of experience working in this industry that caused her to write, The Temporary Employees' Handbook: A Guide to Success (ISBN: 9780615247670). She followed that up with The Successful Job Seeker (ISBN: X-00000070603) after the economy lapse in the wake of all the layoffs and the recession. She is in the process of preparing her latest book, Dr. Ande's New Temporary Employees' Handbook (tentative release early 2012) she gives modern job seekers advice on utilizing Web 2.0 and 3.0 tactics to land the careers of their dreams.Prior to returning to broadcasting she worked as an educator in public schools, K-12, working with students learning English as a second language, reading, mathematics and foreign language studies, specifically Spanish, French and German. She was also the Spanish translator for families and helped with registrations. After hurricane Katrina (2005), she leant her French talents to helping with French speaking families being relocated into the Sacramento/San Franciscio Bay Area.
Not one to shy away from performing, Dr. Ande appeared in productions of HAIR! and the opera Aiida. She was also a member of Bill Graham promotions and worked as a specialty model and spokesmodel on the Penn & Teller GMAC Mastercard college campaign.
