She has a passion for growth and learning and for helping teams reach their full potential.
Audrey joined ViiV in August 2018, leading External Affairs and Communications in the US where she focused on building a high-performing US corporate communications and external affairs team, as well as expanding to meet business needs with the uniquely positioned external affairs community liaison field team.
She is a passionate champion for the HIV community and has supported and advocated for innovative community programs in the US including the Being Seen podcast and Risk to Reasons, which are truly making an impact on reducing stigma and empowering black women to focus on their health needs including HIV prevention.
