Andrea Jones, Office Administrator
Andrea pronounced (On-dree-uh) was born in California but raised in Oklahoma City due to being a military child. The apple didn't fall too far when she married a service-member herself, which is the reason why she landed here in Kansas. Although from Oklahoma, she is not an OU Sooner or OSU Cowboy fan (she graduated from Texas A&M), but does love the Oklahoma City Thunder (basketball). When she is not at ECM, she is enjoying shopping, dance fitness classes, volleyball, cooking/eating, and being with her family/friends. Contract Andrea Jones.
