Throughout elementary school Audrey was one day younger than Denis P - and he and Audrey competed to achieve perfect math test scores for years. From this foundation of loving the precision and clear answers of math came Audrey's introduction to coding.  When her 'A' level math class was invited to attend an open house and take an aptitude test...and as they say "the rest is history".

Audrey's goal for Women & Hi Tech is to maintain the unique spirit of the organization as a celebration of the amazing and varied women of STEM here in Indianapolis while providing a forum for members to be lifted up while encouraging each other as part of our intelligent and trustworthy community.
