Hi, I’m Audrey!

Educator, Mother, Learner

I currently teach Art 1 and Digital Communications for the 21st Century at IDEA College Preparatory North Mission. This is my 9th year teaching with a free public charter network and I have worked with grades 6-12.  Before teaching, I worked as a graphic designer and museum educator.

I am the proud/busy mother of 3 sons and a graduate student in the Digital Leading and Learning program at Lamar University.
