Andora brings more than 19 years of experience in sales, management, training, consulting and leadership development to Power Presentations’ programs. She is a passionate facilitator who is skilled in training design, curriculum development, and creating solid learning environments that translate to life-long learning.
Most recently, Andora worked at Vocus, a cloud-based public relations software company.

Andora graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama where she majored in advertising and communications. She lives in Virginia where she enjoys yoga and has been accused of being “too inspirational.” Andora is thankful for this compliment! To her, inspiration is how she connects with people and gets them to see something different today than they did yesterday.
