Committed to serving the senior community, Audrey is one of three co-chairs of the DAYL Elder Law Committee. She has served as the Region V secretary of the National Bar Association and chair of the African American Lawyer’s Section for the State Bar of Texas. She serves on the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association CDLP committee and is a frequent speaker for the James Baker Ethics Series. Audrey serves on several committees for J.L.

What are you most proud of professionally and/or personally? I am most proud of being selected as a panelist for the Texas Center for Legal Ethics’ Justice James A. Baker Guide to the Basics of Law Practice. This is the required course for every newly licensed Texas lawyer. I am featured on the video and speak at the live CLE events throughout the state. This has allowed me the opportunity to connect with attorneys all over 39 Texas. I am passionately proud of my profession and I enjoy mentoring and encouraging young attorneys to embark on this legal journey with pride, passion and purpose. Why did you choose Texas Wesleyan? Location. Location. Location. It is located in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area, so I could continue to be a caregiver for my parents. It is located in the hearts of the alumni; many wonderfully talented attorneys encouraged me to attend their alma mater. Finally, Texas Wesleyan encourages students to locate in areas of public service. The law school’s commitment to community service was a key factor in my choosing Texas Wesleyan. What do you like best about being a lawyer? I am fond of saying that I am addicted to community service and being a lawyer helps me to support my habit. The legal profession encourages pro bono service. The State Bar of Texas even created the Pro Bono College to encourage and recognize attorneys that exceed the state bar’s aspirational goals of serving the vast unmet needs of the poor. The money’s not bad, either. Who is your favorite professor or mentor and why? alumni report Dean Patti Gearhart Turner was my favorite. Law school can feel isolating − it’s just you and the curve. Dean Turner was always encouraging. I believe the “wellness room” was initially created for me to have anxiety attacks somewhere other than her office. Now it’s for lactating moms....go figure. Tell us a fun/random fact about yourself. My first job was playing the piano for church service when I was in the third grade. I made $25 every Sunday. I was the only kid in my elementary school with a checkbook. ALUMNI PROFILE
