My Bio

I’m Audra.  I was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona.  I have branched out a little over the years, though.  I went out of state for my undergraduate degree to Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA.  During my time there, I spent an academic year studying abroad in Florence, Italy, which allowed me to see much of Europe.  It was an amazing experience.  In my early twenties, I spent two years teaching second grade on a small island called Saipan…in between the Philippines and Australia.  This also proved to be an amazing experience.  I have three cats…all of which I adopted while on Saipan and had shipped back to Arizona.  Their names are Jives, Guava, and Papaya, and I love them all dearly.  I am a huge Disney fan.  My mom and I go to Disneyland/Disney California Adventure together at least once a year.  I also love to read, and I aspire to write a book of my own someday.
