Audrey's Story
Hi everyone! After COHS and college, I worked in Glendale at Fidelity Federal in the Mortgage Department as a Secretary for the Vice Pres. After 2 years, I applied with the airlines and was hired by National Airlines as a Flight Attendant. I flew for almost 10 years and during this time Pan American Airlines took over National Airlines. I was very lucky to have flown all over the world and experienced many different countries and cultures and met many different people. I was based out of Miami, Florida during my airline years. In 1986 I moved up to New York with my (then) husband and have lived on Long Island, New York since then. I have two wonderful children; Katrina, a gorgeous 28 yr old with a successful job with Xerox and Eric, 25, a handsome high-functioning autistic young man who holds a job and attends a Adult Day Program for disabled adults. Long Island is beautiful, filled with marshes and lots of white beaches and lots of traffic just like L.A. (lol). For the past 12 years, I have been the executive assistant to a CEO of a non-profit organization in Long Beach, New York. That is my full-time job. But I have always had a love for all animals since I was a little girl, and am very involved in my free time as a independent animal advocate and rescuer.

ially become an Independent Animal Rescuer in our community. We get phone calls from total strangers, neighbors, people who need our help with an animal. We never turn our back on any situation. My wonderful and supportive boyfriend, Rich, a retired officer from the Nassau County Highway Patrol loves animals as much as I do, so we do the rescue work as a team. Not only do we rescue all different kinds of animals, birds and wildlife, we pay the vet bills, and foster them until a permanent home or sanctuary can be found. We have our own pets as well, a 110lb German Shepherd named Jet and a clan of rescued feral/homeless cats. We love our little zoo.
I am presently in training with the ASPCA and finishing up FEMA courses so I can qualify to apply for the ASPCA Emergency Disaster Response Team that rescues animals in disasters. These events include; tornadoes, floods, wildfires, dogfighting rings, puppy mills, etc. ASPCA Response Teams are deployed to all disasters; natural and man-made, that occur throughout the U.S.
If all that isn't enough to keep us busy.....we have a beautiful vacation home on St. Simon's Island - part of the Golden Isles of the south. St. Simon's is located on the eastern waterway of Georgia and situated next to Jekyll Island and Sea Island, not far from the infamous Blackbeard Island. Google it....it's heaven there.
