| Debbie Andrade | Manager of Budgets | City of Kitchener | Debbie has almost 20 years of experience in the municipal finance sector while working for the cities of Guelph, Cambridge, and most recently Kitchener. Originally from Burlington, Debbie spent her university years in the Niagara region while attending Brock University before ending up in the Waterloo region.
Debbie enjoys the detailed modeling required to develop overall budget targets, but also coordinates the production of the City’s stylized budget document, as well as budget communication efforts like explainer videos and resident surveys. Debbie also leads a team of municipal finance experts who help non-financial people at the City prepare their annual budgets and explain their variances.
When she’s not balancing budgets and analyzing variances, Debbie spends her free time skiing, golfing, teaching fitness classes at her local gym, and watching crime dramas with her teenage boys.
