Within a few years she was elected to the board of the Australian Dispute Resolution Association and joined the international dispute resolution society SPIDR.Nearing 70 and seeking healing following the loss of her daughter to suicide Andreea started doing stand-up comedy. Not satisfied with just laughs, she found telling stories gave her the opportunity to share issues that are important to her. TED selected Andreea as one of the promising Australian presenters in when they held special salons on six continents to uncover new talents, voices and ideas the world needs to hear.Andreea Kindryd is a generous, funny, loving and exciting storyteller who makes history come alive. She has performed to great reviews at Fringe Festivals in Adelaide, Edinburgh, Auckland, Los Angeles and Sydney. From Slavery to the Stars is her attempt to share her family's experiences over a hundred years. From the slave shackles of her great great grandmother, to living under stars of the Southern Cross in the skies of Australia. She also shares an insider view of an iconic television series that's more popular today than it was 50 years ago.Ande said "A lot of people say they grew up with Star Trek. Me too, except I was already in my twenties when it started. I'm over 80 now and, because of Trek, I'm still growing".ver menos
