Andrea Davies | Raffi Musiker “Star Trek: Picard”
“I have chosen Raffi from the wonderful and almost overwhelming list of choices. My day job is Assistant Head in a special school for teenagers with social, emotional and mental health needs. Many of our kids have challenging and chaotic homelives. Pupils, and often their parents and siblings are fighting circumstance and often addiction. My message is always that our demons, mistakes and bad choices don't have to define us. Raffi is fighting that fight on screen. She shows us that it isn't easy, and most importantly flawed people can still do amazing things. Michelle Hurd gave us an imperfect, but inspiring character. 'The wreckage of a good person' is a line I have adopted. I see that wreckage every day, and know it can be fixed.”

Andrea’s Bio:
Hi! I'm Andrea, but Vin seems to have stuck with me, and I'm stuck with it. Trek has been a background beat in my life for as long as I can remember. UK readers might relate to being part of the 6pm BBC 2 generation. It drifted out of my life and Jason Isaacs took me down the rabbit hole. I hadn't drawn for best part of 20 years and got back into art in the last couple of years. It's been an unexpected godsend, both during the lockdown and to keep my hands moving and working when they don't necessarily want to. I have even dipped my toe in to podcasting and I'm a barfly at UK conventions. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful people Trek has brought into my life, especially my basement girls!
