About Audra
Audra is a board-certified genetic counselor at Weill Cornell Medicine with clinical experience in cancer, prenatal, and preconception genetics. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Miami University and her Master of Science in Genetic Counseling from Kean University. Her clinical training included prenatal and pediatric genetics at Hackensack Meridian Health and reproductive genetics at RMA.
Audra currently leads a multisite clinical study evaluating the integration of hereditary cancer genetic testing into routine reproductive care. She is passionate about expanding access to genetic testing, advancing women’s health, and helping patients take a proactive approach to their health and family planning. Her counseling style is warm, conversational, and educational, with a focus on making complex genetic information approachable. She strives for patients to leave their appointments feeling informed, supported, and empowered to make decisions that are right for themselves and their families.
Outside of genetic counseling, Audra lives in Brooklyn and loves exploring New York City. She also enjoys running, reading, taking pottery classes, and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where she walks dogs.
