    Andrew Triana

    PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD

    Andrew has been fortunate enough to witness the positive impact learning can have on the minds of hundreds of people. Learning, for him, extends far beyond remembering facts from a piece of paper. He has seen people traverse mental health, disease, and afflictions through sport-related-learning.

    The care, compassion, and ambition required to develop a skill from novice to proficient trigger transformations in the brain that no medication or therapeutic compound can replicate. Andrew's personal experiences, both in his personal life and in his roles as a substitute teacher and a professional, reinforce his belief that the ideology of Super Brain Collective can enhance cerebro-cognitive opportunities for ASD youth and adults alike.
