Andrella holds prominent positions on several state committees, such as the SC Realtors Professional Standards Committee, SC Realtor Community Alliance, and the CTAR Strategic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.

Andrella will also join the SC Realtors® State Leadership Academy in CY 2024, where she and other state leaders will work together to positively impact the community. Andrella is a graduate of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce Civic
Leaders Academy and CTAR Leadership Academy. She holds certifications as a Military Relocation Professional, Short Sales and foreclosure Resource, At Home With Diversity (AHWD), and Committed to Excellence (C2EX).
