As a military veteran with a 17-year career as a USAF Medical Technician, Audrey has firsthand experience working in various settings, including hospitals, aircraft, and ground operations. This unique background has given her valuable insights into the challenges faced by individuals in the military community and a deep understanding of the psychological impact of trauma.
Audrey holds a Master of Science in Addiction Counseling from the Texas Tech University Health Science Center, where she gained comprehensive knowledge and expertise in treating addiction-related issues. Additionally, she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, focusing on Pre-Med, from Bowie State University, an esteemed Historically Black College and University (HBCU).
