Audrey Rudinsky

Audrey grew up outside of Raleigh, NC where she first became interested in

teaching and disability advocacy at age thirteen. She pursued her passion for

disability education through college and summers spent as a camp counselor for

children with disabilities. She has also worked with children with disabilities as a

tutor and teacher’s assistant, before becoming a teacher.

Audrey obtained both her Bachelor of Science in Special Education and Master of

Arts in Special Education from Appalachian State University. Audrey has two

years of experience as a special education teacher, working with students on the

general and adapted curriculums.

Audrey believes every student can succeed with the appropriate supports and

strives to build student confidence in themselves and their abilities. She advocates

for the individual needs of her students, meaningful opportunities for inclusion,

and the necessity of social-emotional learning instruction.

This is Audrey’s first year teaching at FernLeaf, after moving from Boone, NC.

She is looking forward to working in a collaborative, community-centered

environment, meeting new people, and expanding her educational expertise.

Outside of school, Audrey can be found spending time with her partner, watching

animal documentaries, exploring the outdoors, eating Indian food, and antique

shopping.
