While completing her Professional Masters in Art & Design Education at NCAD, Andrea presented work at seminars at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) and at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). In 2016, NCAD set up a collaborative project with IMMA for the Lucian Freud Exhibition, and students were chosen to present their responses to the theme of 'Beneath the Surface' which they explored in their Drawing and Painting VAC at NCAD. Secondly, NCAD have links with the Ubuntu network and Irish Aid, who supported The Change Lab exhibition at the NCAD Gallery in 2017.

The showcase featured presentations from bachelor degree education students and professional master in education students from NCAD.
