Operations Manager
Andrew commenced as a staff member with TCFV in January 2010, in the role of volunteer coordinator (support groups).

Andrew has a special interest in safe and supportive workplace cultures. His roles with TCFV spans management, outreach, program development, policy, risk, research and website coordination. He facilitates a highly-regarded group leader training program annually and has adapted those materials for training of phone and chat responder personnel.
For that essential work-life balance, Andrew enjoys travelling with his family, reading and writing. A cinema enthusiast, he has published highly-regarded film analyses and hosts a website on the work of the late filmmaker Alan J. Pakula.
Andrew is the bereaved brother of Jeremy, 26.
