Andrea Brown

Andrea Brown knows what makes a gift actually work — not just look good in the bag. Based in Flint and rooted in Kalamazoo, she brings over 14 years of hands-on experience in pediatric occupational therapy and elder care to her role as gift curator at Presentlike. Her B.S. in Child Development from Western Michigan University and Certified Family Life Educator credential inform every recommendation she makes, whether she's matching a toy to a toddler's developmental stage or finding something genuinely useful for a senior navigating mobility challenges. She's consulted for a regional children's hospital and co-authored a gift column reaching 45,000 Michigan readers. Her office shelf holds seventeen board games — strictly for research, she'll tell you.
