ANDREA HOSHMAND MCAFEE
FOUNDER + DIRECTOR
Andrea entered the world of assisted reproduction over twenty years ago as a three-time egg donor. The experience profoundly impacted her, and she maintains contact with her recipient families to this day. In 2008, she founded the Hawaii Surrogacy Center. Over the next ten years, Andrea established strong working relationships with every fertility clinic in Hawaii, as well as nationally and internationally renowned legal professionals specializing in family and assisted reproductive technology law. Upon relocating to the Philadelphia area with her family (it is her husband’s hometown), colleagues encouraged Andrea to establish a local sister agency, following the same highly personalized, successful approach that resulted in Hawaii Surrogacy Center being the leading provider of surrogacy services in her home state. Andrea is honored that so many Intended Parents have trusted her team to help complete their families. She is excited to bring this same service to the Greater Philadelphia area. Andrea is a graduate of Questrom School of Business at Boston University and the Maryland School of Public Policy. She is married to an Army veteran, has two girls and lives in Manayunk.

JESSIE JAKULSKY
INTENDED PARENT CONCIERGE
Jessie is a former Intended Parent who had both of her daughters through surrogacy. As our waitlist concierge, she supports Intended Parents by reviewing profiles and sharing feedback with IPs, helping them with one of the most important components in the matching process of a surrogacy journey. She also works to ensure that the IPs on the waitlist have access to the services that they need by connecting them to support groups and ensuring they are taking advantage of all the resources the agency has to offer. Jessie truly understands firsthand how long the days feel when you are on the waitlist waiting to be matched with a surrogate and is available for emotional support and advocacy from someone who has been there.

You’ll find her assisting with screening surrogates, tracking all our agency insurance needs, ensuring contract compliance and working closely with our case managers to get policies in place.

CHRISTY MALLOY
HEALTH COACHING
Christy provides health coaching to our gestational carriers throughout their surrogacy journey. From pre-transfer to postpartum recovery, she shares her knowledge of nutrition and mindfulness with our surrogates. Christy is a busy mom, health coach and founder of Dish You Well Health Coaching. Her passion for food started at a young age with cooking, creating recipes and of course eating. Christy never paid attention to, or even really valued the importance of proper nutrition until she was in her mid-20s. It was then that she experienced a weak immune system, anxiety, mood swings, digestive issues and PCOS. Fast forward 14 years later, zero signs of PCOS in sight, cycle is regular, anxiety still surfaces, but not nearly as much. Hers has been a journey filled with lots of small changes over the years. Eventually, Christy enrolled in the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute Master Health Coach Certification. It is her true passion to help others live a full, healthy, happy life.
