ABOUT ME

My name is Audrey.

I grew up in Maryland, right outside D.C. Moved to New York for college. Studied journalism and history. Now I'm back home in Maryland, figuring out what to do next.

I believe in generosity and kindness and showing people that the world isn't as cold as the news would suggest.

Here's my goal in life: When I am old and crumbly, I want to live out in the country. I will spend my days on my front porch, sitting in a rocking chair with a record player at my back, watching the world go by. When my family comes to visit, I will bake 10,000 cookies and fling them at my grandkids like delicious ninja stars.

I am hilarious and a little strange, in a good way, of course.
