About Me

Hi!  My name is Audrey Payne.  I am 28 years old and have a 9 year old son.  I am an Elementary Ed major at MSSU.  I recently quit my job as a para at Joplin High School in order to finish my education. I worked at the mall campus after the tornado and that was quite the learning experience!  It was definitely full of it's ups and downs.  In my free time I enjoy going to the movies, hanging out with friends, going on walks with my son (when the weather is cool enough!), working out, shopping, photography, and baking!  Fall is my absolute favorite time of year!  The weather is perfect and the smells are sensational!  This past summer I took my second trip to NYC.  I had an amazing time showing my son around the city.  We visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, The Bronx Zoo, Times Square, FAO Schwartz, and saw Mary Poppins on Broadway.  It was truly a fantastic experience!

Above is a picture of my son and myself at a Kansas City Chiefs game last summer.  I'm more of a Dallas Cowboys fan, but he's all about the Chiefs!  

I hope everyone has a fun and successful semester in English 102!  Good luck!! :)
