Audrey Adkins

Location and Scenery: Missourian Suburbia. I live in the Ozarks, in a suburban neighborhood. It’s a pretty quiet and normal setting.

Special Skills: Finding gaps in processes that need to be fixed. Wrangling chaos and herding cats...or otters. Building strong relationships.

Fun Fact: I am the only one in my family with an accent. I was born in Missouri but grew up in South Africa, so I’ve got an accent that keeps Thanksgiving dinner extra interesting.

Favorite Tool or Tech: Confluence. It's not done until it's documented. Also, building Relationships. Building connections is the most underrated tool in project management.

What do you like to do to unwind outside of work? Every Friday, my family and I have pizza night. We make pizzas from scratch, bake them in our outdoor pizza oven, and then enjoy them with a movie. I even got into launching pizzas during the pandemic—yes, like flinging them into the oven! I also love to read, ride my Peloton and take walks in our neighborhood.

Favorite part of being an Otter? The Otter People. 

Short Bio: Wife to Nathaniel, mama to Isaac. American by birth. South African by heart. Pastor & Spiritual Director. Lover of sourdough pizza, espresso and cycling. I'm all about efficiency and documentation, even at home; my to-do lists expand beyond work and I have ongoing personal and professional lists.
