Founder & Director
Andrea founded Hawaii Surrogacy in 2008 to meet the need for gestational carriers on Oahu and neighboring islands. Many local families were going to the mainland for services, leading to expensive and impersonal surrogacy journeys. Over ten years, Andrea established strong working relationships with every fertility clinic in Hawaii, as well as nationally and internationally renowned legal professionals specializing in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).
Most importantly, she feels honored that so many Intended Parents have trusted her agency to help complete their families. You will often find Andrea chatting at all hours with parents from Ewa Beach, Kahului, Seattle or even Sydney, Australia. She loves providing as much information as possible to clients (with a side of humor) so that they can feel confident about their investment in the surrogacy process.
Andrea is a graduate of Punahou School, Questrom School of Business at Boston University, and Maryland School of Public Policy. She is married to an Army veteran and has two children.

Over ten years of marriage has brought her family 3 wonderful children and 2 fur babies, a cat and a dog, who literally fight like cats and dogs! Don’t be surprised if you find her sporting a pair of Mickey ears, as all things Disney, Harry Potter and Star Wars are her favorite pastime!
Rebekah’s passion for growing families and love for supporting Intended parents and gestational carriers has brought her to the agency to continue doing what she loves most!

Case Management
Kasandra was born and raised in sunny Southern California. She has three beautiful children with her husband of 16 years. As a Marine Corps family, they have lived and traveled all over the country. Their family was stationed in Hawaii from 2016 – 2020 and immediately fell in love with the islands. So much so that they requested to be back on island starting in 2024. Kasandra is a 2x successful surrogate, giving birth in 2019 and 2023. She is passionate about surrogacy and beyond excited to take on a professional role as a case manager. In Kasandra’s free time, she enjoys hiking, running and going to the beach. She loves watching her children play soccer and swim. And like fellow team members, she adores all things Disney and Halloween.
Intended Parent Concierge
Jessie is a former Intended Parent who had both of her daughters through surrogacy. As our waitlist concierge, she supports Intended Parents by reviewing profiles and sharing feedback with IPs, helping them with one of the most important components in the matching process of a surrogacy journey. She also works to ensure that the IPs on the waitlist have access to the services that they need by connecting them to support groups and ensuring they are taking advantage of all the resources the agency has to offer. Jessie truly understands firsthand how long the days feel when you are on the waitlist waiting to be matched with a surrogate and is available for emotional support and advocacy from someone who has been there.
Program Coordination
Lauren heads up our program coordination efforts. You’ll find her tracking all our agency insurance needs, ensuring contract compliance and working closely with our case managers to get policies in place. She also makes sure that Intended Parents and Surrogates take full advantage of all the special supports that we provide from financial counseling to health coaching and therapeutic supports. Along with a professional background in administration and program coordination, Lauren has also been a surrogate with our sister agency, Surrogacy Center of Philadelphia.
Health Coaching
Christy provides health coaching to our gestational carriers throughout their surrogacy journey. From pre-transfer to postpartum recovery, she shares her knowledge of nutrition and mindfulness with our surrogates. Christy is a busy mom, health coach and founder of Dish You Well Health Coaching. Her passion for food started at a young age with cooking, creating recipes and of course eating. Christy never paid attention to, or even really valued the importance of proper nutrition until she was in her mid-20s. It was then that she experienced a weak immune system, anxiety, mood swings, digestive issues and PCOS. Her body was begging her to open her eyes and become aware of the changes that needed to be made. Fast forward 14 years later, zero signs of PCOS in sight, cycle is regular, anxiety still surfaces, but not nearly as much. Hers has been a journey filled with lots of small changes over the years. Eventually, Christy enrolled in the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute Master Health Coach Certification. It is her true passion to help others live a full, healthy, happy life.
Social Media Manager
Prizzilla was born and raised in Southern California with her four siblings until she enlisted in the Army after high school. She left the Army after starting her family and dedicated her life to being a stay at home mom to her two kids. Prizzilla and her husband decided to stop having children of their own, and after seeing Coordinator Nisha share her own surrogacy story, she decided to become a surrogate herself. She enjoys sharing her surrogacy experience through social media channels with those curious about becoming a surrogate or surrogacy in general.
Community Engagement
Chelsea spearheads our local community engagement efforts. She’s lived on the island of Oahu with her husband and two fur babies for 3 years. She has valuable experience within the surrogacy sphere having previously worked for a large, national surrogacy agency.
