Audrey (she/her) joined the CSRPC and Beyond Prisons team in February 2024. She has spent most of her career in Chicago as an arts educator and facilitator after receiving her BA in Theatre Performance and Linguistics from Tulane University. Audrey most recently served as the Performance Programs Manager at Urban Gateways, where she managed and supported a roster of touring artists as they brought over 250 live performances each year to CPS, libraries, park districts, and community partner sites across the state. Preivously, Audrey planned and facilitated public programming at Jane Addams Hull-House Museum as their Education Coordinator, where she collaborated with artists, educators, and activists on justice-oriented arts programming. She believes deeply in the power of public art to build community and power.
