Professor
Dr. Ortega, the Professor.
Currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Central Florida, Andrea builds sessions that are interactive, accessible, and rooted in adult-learning best practices, not slide after slide.
Where research meets the field
Andrea earned her doctorate at UCF, where she now teaches as an Adjunct Professor. She holds a rare vantage point: practitioner running a nonprofit consultancy and scholar of philanthropy. That duality shapes every syllabus, workshop, and keynote.
