Andy Merida Profile and Contact Information

Hello, Future Husky!

I am honored to have the opportunity to guide you and help make sure you are taking the right steps toward your future. Choosing a university is a big decision, and I’m excited to walk alongside you as you explore what your future could look like here at Houston Christian University.

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and football was a big part of my life growing up. Playing football in Texas taught me the importance of brotherhood, teamwork, discipline, and always having your teammate’s back. Those are values I continue to carry with me today, especially when working with students and families.

I’m also a proud HCU alumnus! I graduated from Houston Christian University in 2023 with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Along with my business background, I have a certification in Culinary Arts. As you can probably tell, I love to cook! One of my favorite things to make is a great steak, especially when I get to cook for family and friends.

Building relationships with people is something I truly enjoy. I love meeting new people and making friends wherever I go. I also serve as a youth leader at my local church, where I have the opportunity to encourage and pour into the next generation. I believe God has an impactful purpose for every person’s life and that there is something powerful about people coming together in one mind and one accord.

When I’m not working with students, serving at church, or cooking, you’ll probably find me with a cup of coffee, a good book, and a beautiful view. I also enjoy listening to classical music and symphonies—it’s one of my favorite ways to slow down, think, and recharge.

As your Admissions Counselor, I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I’m here to answer your questions, encourage you, and help you take the next step toward your goals.

I’m excited to work together. Your future looks bright, Future Husky, and I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you!
