With a strong passion for volunteer service and helping those in need, she wanted to do more.
Aubrie left her public school teaching career to work in the nonprofit sector. She has enjoyed volunteering with many local nonprofit organizations and works for a local nonprofit social service agency.
Aubrie saw a need to connect and provide support services for local foster children and foster families, which gave her the inspiration to found Fostering Connections St. Johns.
