I have known Andrea Carter for over seven years. This is my take on her: Punctual, versatile, hardworking, quick learner, knowledgeable, self-reliant, team player, team leader, even tempered, does not panic, asks good questions, good communicator, professional, and possesses a good sense of humor. Andrea has been one of my senior stage managers for the Palm Springs International Film Festival Honors Gala and the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards during that time and she has never let me, or the show, down. At the end of the day, and some of them go quite long, she is still a good person to know and spend time with. Simply put, Andrea is a trusted friend.
