Andrea Nitta: Breast Cancer Advocacy

Step into the Pivot

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time of reflection and advocacy, and we're thrilled to welcome back Andrea Nitta to "Step Into the Pivot." Celebrating Andrea's two years post-diagnosis, we emphasize the ongoing journey of self-care and management. Andrea's advocacy work, including her involvement in events like the More Than Pink Walk and her potential pursuit of a board position, showcases the impact one person can have on a community. Her journey from a personal battle to a platform for support will leave you motivated to take action in your own life.
Transitioning from secondary school to new opportunities is another pivotal theme. Andrea shares how this life change opened doors for her to further her advocacy efforts, all while balancing personal and family commitments. The conversation reiterates the importance of collective advocacy and mutual support, encouraging listeners to embrace life’s pivots with confidence. We thank Andrea for her incredible contributions and stories, reminding everyone that sharing your experiences can provide strength and inspiration to others.
Guest Bio:
Andrea was introduced to retirement plans through growth and acquisition at her first job out of college at US Bank. She holds a Finance degree from Minnesota State University - Moorhead. Andrea’s industry knowledge prospered with 17 years in varying roles focused on service at The Standard. Moving from a recordkeeper to a broker/dealer with two years at Cetera Financial Group only broadened her expertise. Joining Fiduciary Decisions (FDI) in November 2020 as Vice President of National Accounts has allowed her to focus close to 25 years of industry experience on FDI’s valuable broker/dealer and RIA clients.

Andrea is very active with WIPN — WE | Inspire | Promote | Network — a non-profit organization focused on advancing equity and opportunity for women in the retirement industry. She currently serves as the Regional Leader for the Pacific Northwest region and had previously co-founded and co-chaired the Oregon chapter. She is also active with the Youth Charity League (YCL) and currently serves on the YCL Board as Secretary. YCL has provided her and her family with the opportunity to serve various non-profit organizations.

She enjoys time with friends and family, golfing, reading, and traveling. Andrea is a proud parent to three awesome kids – two in college and one in high school. Andrea lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, kids on the go, and their dog Rocky.
