TESTIMONIALS
““Audrey is beyond inspirational. She is attentive when it is desired but let us work through problems when they arose. She provided a breadth of clear examples to draw inspiration from and let us determine the path we wanted to go down. She is super excited by all subjects and ready to share that excitement with anyone who is ready for it! She is supportive, informative, and a great leader in the classroom. ””
