My name is Audrey and I’m a Customer Service Coordinator and a Small Business Owner.
Q: Tell us about yourself, including a little bit about where you grew up, your education, your family, interests, passions, and career?
I was born in Indiana but moved to Colorado where I lived from the ages 7-19. I then moved to SC and I love it here. I obtained a business degree from Strayer University. I’m a divorced mother of 3 adults and a grandmother of 6 beautiful grandchildren. Some would say I wear many hats or that I’m always doing something. I work as a Customer Service Coordinator for Verizon, I’ve been with the company for 20 years. I am passionate about serving others, I love volunteering whether it be at church, community events or serving the less fortunate you can count me in. I am also passionate about the bridal sector. I love anything wedding related. Which prompted me to start my Bride Concierge Service in 2021. I am also a wedding gown designer. Click HERE to like my Facebook page.
