Andrea Durham is an athletic trainer at the Bullis School, a K-12 private school in Potomac MD. Previously, she was the head athletic trainer at James H. Blake High School, assistant athletic trainer at Becker College, and has also been the athletic trainer for the Trenton Freedom Arena Football team and Rider University.
In her work, Andrea saw a need for more mentorship opportunities and support for young minority women to be encouraged to go into sports medicine fields. So, she created the Minority Women in Sports Medicine 501(c)(3) charitable organization which offers scholarships and mentors to minority women in high school and college to help support their future career goals.
In addition to running Minority Women in Sports Medicine, Andrea also serves on the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Trainers Association committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Andrea received her Masters in Athletic Training from Seton Hall University, and a Bachelors in Chemistry from Tennessee State University.
