Community and creativity have been the guiding principles of Audrey's lifelong work as an advocate for environmental and social justice. She attended Hampshire College where she double majored in digital media/communications and history and completed her thesis on the representation of the working class. She studied under her late mentor Robert Seydel, who instilled in her the value of the historical past and the emotional present. She sustained her love of the outdoors during college working on the Hampshire College Regenerative Farm. She has been specializing in digital communications and nonprofit leadership for over a decade.

Her early career began with No More Nice Girls Inc., a group founded by filmmaker Joan Braderman, designed to develop and produce intercultural films. She then went on to organize community art events in LA before returning to the east coast to take on the role of Director and Curator at an art gallery and gathering space in 2016. During this time, she curated a show where met her late mentor, filmmaker Rosalind Schneider. In the wake of her passing, Audrey serves as Rosalind's Archivist and the representative of her collection of mixed media artwork and experimental film. 

In her creative life, Audrey's mixed media art explores themes of liberation, labor, community, queerness, nature, and grief. She has shown her work in various solo and group exhibitions and was most recently published in artist Chelsea Granger's debut book 'So Many Ways to Draw a Ghost,' which she also edited. She has curated several group exhibits, each with a focus on forging and deepening community connection. Her most active current creative project involves visuals and set design for a beloved community dance night called Heaven, New Haven.

In her professional life,  Audrey serves as the Director of Development and Communications for New Haven Ecology Project - better known as Common Ground Urban Farm, High School and Environmental Education Center. In this role she manages all fundraising, federal, state and private grant-writing, oversees communications, and is the lead organizer for the annual fundraiser Feast from the Fields. Feast from the Fields is a celebration of New Haven's vibrant cross-cultural food systems, and has become one of largest farm to table events in the region.

In her personal life, Audrey is a lover of the land, the sea, and all their gifts. She is passionate about the medicinal herbs and healing traditions of her Greek lineage. She sustains herself through regenerative gardening projects, playing basketball, and time spent in the woods with her trusted dog companion, Lo.​
