Audra was born in Tipton County and moved to Memphis at age 8. She grew up in her dad’s cotton, soybean and corn fields and her mom’s beautifully crafted home garden. She served and managed local restaurants while attending the University of Memphis where she graduated in 2014. Audra has a passion for environmental sustainability and at one time managed a local restaurant program with a focus on green education, recycling and zero waste efforts. After a few years of freelance work, she went back to school to receive a certificate in landscape design from Emory University. She is a proud Cooper Young resident, momma to her rescue dog Luna and a delighted aunt to two energetic nieces. You can often find her on the Tennessee River with her family, cheering on our Memphis Tigers and supporting locally owned businesses around town.
