Audrey is originally from Georgia but moved to southern California for four years where her passion for sustainability began. While living in these contrasting environments, she learned firsthand that the value and sense of urgency regarding sustainability are not consistent across the United States. She is a recent graduate of The University of Georgia where she double majored in Agribusiness and Agriculture & Applied Economics. After working for a renewable investment-focused asset management firm, she saw the intersection of conservation and business creating profits and environmental benefits. Following this experience, Audrey chose the MS-ESM program to further her expertise with specific business principles and environmental knowledge to forge a more sustainable future for consumers and producers alike.
