Biography:
Andrea Van Vleet is a Springfield, Tennessee native, and a 1995 graduate of Springfield High School. She earned a Bachelor of Business Administration at Belmont University in 1999. After working at her mom's small business for 11 years, she decided to pursue a teaching career. She began teaching at Sycamore High School in 2005 and completed a Master's in Education from Tennessee State University in 2007.

Andrea is a big fan of Dave Ramsey and currently uses his school curriculum in her Personal Finance classes. "I love teaching students about money," she says. "By teaching them how to make a budget, save, invest, and avoid debt, I hope to give them opportunities that they never would've had before." In 2008, she facilitated Financial Peace University for her church and watched the class reduce their debt by approximately $30,000 in just 13 weeks! She hopes to eventually become a Dave Ramsey Certified Financial Counselor and start a financial counseling ministry at her church and possibly a side counseling business.

Andrea is married to her high school sweetheart, Bradley, and has two little boys, Cole and Luke. In her spare time she enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and shopping for really great bargains.
