At Michigan State, she was a recipient of various scholarships including the Larian Scholarship and Women in Engineering Scholarship (sponsored by Alcoa). Apart from her education, Audrey was involved as a student leader on campus, through her role as an intercultural aide.

She also worked as a calculus tutor for engineering students. In her final year at university, she was selected to be part of the homecoming court (ten seniors who demonstrate leadership qualities and community services whilst at the university) and she was selected to participate in a documentary for the university president’s annual report on student life. As a female engineer, Audrey is passionate about engaging young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
