Since Andrea's death, Doris has earned a master's in counseling psychology, co-founded Andrea’s Voice Foundation, authored the Gürze Books’ “Advice for Parent’s” blog, the critically acclaimed book, Andrea’s Voice: Silenced by Bulimia, and co-authored Chapter 21 in the book, Treatment of Eating Disorders: Bridging the Research-Practice Gap, Edited by: Maine, Bunnell, & McGilley (Academic Press, 2010).
