Vision Statement
At ANH Consulting, our vision is to transform education by empowering and sustaining educators through personalized support, innovative learning, and a restored standard of excellence that ensures every child’s success.
Our Story
Founded in 2020, A.N.H. Consulting is a national education consulting firm based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
ANH Consulting was born out of both challenge and opportunity. When new leadership and the early wave of charter school movements reshaped New Orleans—the only city in America with more charter school networks than any other—our founder, Andrea Heard, found herself spearheading educator development. This became a catalyst. Those moments opened the door for Andrea to reimagine how she could serve education: not bound by one school, but positioned to impact leaders, teachers, students, and communities on a larger scale.
Today, we carry that same spirit of transformation. At ANH Consulting, we empower individuals and organizations through personalized trainings, dynamic professional development workshops, and innovative online courses. Our work extends across schools, nonprofits, and businesses, all united by one goal: to reach the next level of excellence. We believe that when educators are fully supported, students thrive, families grow stronger, and communities rise.
Our Founder
Born and raised in New Orleans, LA, Andrea Heard is the Founder and CEO of A.N.H. Consulting, Inc. An educator-practicioner, coach, thought leader, author, and proud mom, she advocates for quality education inside and outside of the traditional school setting.
At the heart of her work is her book: I Work For Children: An Educator's Guide to Purpose and Practice. This book captures her 3 Pillar Framework (Purpose, Professionalism, and Possibility), and includes lessons, reflections, and capstones, serving as both a personal journey and a practical guide for education teams navigating their shared visions and work today no matter what their current role.
In addition to the workshops that support, Andrea delivers keynote speeches that challenge and inspire audiences to reconnect with their “why” and examine their "how."
Through this body of work, Andrea continues to model what ANH Consulting stands for: empowering educators, strengthening schools, and reminding us all that our best belongs to children.

Testimonials
Rolanda Warren
Evolved Instruction - Cohort 1
“Being able to be a part of this summer's professional development was nothing short of phenomenal and helped me tremendously with being a new teacher. I felt prepared as I entered this school year even in spite of teaching online. Following the summer with the weekly coaching, I was able to practice what I just learned. I am consistently sharpening my teaching skills and using my weekly data to get my students on grade level and close learning gaps.”

Evolved Instruction - Cohort 1
“I was ready to give up on the profession of teaching due to the high stress levels and work demand. Miss Heard provided me with the emotional support I needed and taught me how to create clear boundaries for my work as well as a self care regimen tailored to myself. So grateful to her. Now I can continue doing what I love and creating the impact I know we need for our children.”

Evolved Instruction - Cohort 1
“It was very valuable to be able to take the summer and define my learning outcomes using my state standards to fully understand where I am taking my kids through their learning. After tackling my unit plans we were able to do one on one Praxis tutoring and I finally passed my exam. I can walk with confidence knowing I am a qualified teacher now.”
