Andrea Krazeise

Andrea Krazeise

Founder & Executive Director

Andrea Krazeise is a wife, mother, author, speaker and passionate pro-life leader who has inspired men and women for over a decade. Raised in Sanford and a graduate of Seminole High School followed by a career in banking. In 1997 God called her out of the corporate world and into ministry where she founded The Pregnancy Center of Sanford & Oviedo and currently serves as the Executive Director. Author of the award-winning book, “He Came back For Me”, Andrea cherishes the kind of fear that requires total dependence on God. She and her husband, Dave of 35 years live in Lake Mary and are the proud parents of three children, a daughter-in-love and twin grandbabies. When she’s not at The Pregnancy Center or speaking about pro-life issues, Andrea loves spending time with her family, traveling and gardening.

Terra Miranda, RDMS

Terra Miranda, RDMS

Clinic Manager

Terra grew up in Central Florida and graduated from UCF with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration. After coming alongside a friend who was going through a crisis pregnancy and seeing her choose life after viewing her child on ultrasound, Terra felt led to pursue schooling in Sonography. She graduated from the Florida Institute of Ultrasound in Pensacola and went on to perform ultrasounds of the heart, abdomen, vascular system, OB/Gyn, and small parts in doctor’s offices all over Central Florida. At the same time, she also volunteered and worked at a local pregnancy center for 8 years doing ultrasounds and lay counseling. After the closing of that center, God led Andrea, the founder of The Pregnancy Centers, to Terra to come alongside and bring her experience to the new Winter Park location. Terra is registered with the American Registry For Diagnostic in Medical Sonography(ARDMS) in Abdominal and OB/GYN. She became the Clinic Manager in June of 2022.

Ruth

Ruth

Center Director, Sanford

Ruth has had a passion for supporting women and their unborn since before she became a mother herself, and she has been thrilled to be able to put her passion more into action through her work at The Pregnancy Center. Ruth was called to join the staff of The Pregnancy Center of Sanford in May 2016 as the office manager. Since then, Ruth’s eyes have been opened to the struggle and lack of support that many women facing an unplanned pregnancy endure. Ruth’s fluency in Spanish allows The Pregnancy Center to more minister to our Spanish speaking clients on a full-time basis. In addition, she also runs The Pregnancy Center’s social media accounts. Ruth is a member of Oviedo City Church.  She and her husband of 22 years, Eric, have three wonderful children, Annabella who is 23, Logan who is 19 and Nicholas who is 16.

Elizabeth graduated from The University of Tulsa with a BSBA with a major in Marketing, first working in outside sales in the transportation industry in Atlanta. She later obtained a Master’s in Elementary Education from Rivier College while living in New Hampshire, and teaching Kindergarten for a few years before starting a family.
She married her best friend, Reed, 25 years ago and they have 3 awesome girls who are 22, 20, and 16. After hearing Andrea speak at St. Peter’s years ago about the pro-life ministry available to women in need, Elizabeth felt the Spirit’s leading to volunteer as a lay counselor where she could care for and love others, including the unborn.

Four years later, when part of God’s plan was beautifully revealed in an opening in Sanford for Client Services. Elizabeth took the opportunity to grow herself and her love for the clients we serve and the special volunteers we have. She is amazed at God’s handiwork every day and feels so blessed to be a part of the ministry. When Elizabeth isn’t at the Center you can find her in her bible studying, on a trail running, in the kitchen cooking, or out traveling with her family.

2020 verse for the year: The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. The still bear fruit in old age: they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 92:12-15
