Andrea Verdoodt (she/her) is a Belgium-based model, aspiring actress, and writer living with partial paralysis caused by a tumor. The condition left her with motor and sensory impairments, but through intensive training, she is learning to walk again — aiming to go from 0 to 5 km. Andrea shares her journey on Instagram, where she inspires others by documenting her recovery process and daily life with a spinal cord injury. She is currently training to compete in Paralympic swimming and hopes to raise awareness for rare diseases and life with incomplete paralysis. Though new to the creative industry, Andrea’s passion and resilience shine through her content. With a strong interest in fashion and media, she is driven to help bring more visibility to people with disabilities. Her ambition is to inspire others to reach their goals — because, as she says, you are the one who has to make it happen. In her free time, Andrea enjoys watching films, trying new food, and traveling.
