Audrey Bird

Fulbright University of St Andrews Summer Institute - Scotland's History: Kingdom, Nation, People

Audrey Bird was raised in Brecksville, Ohio and is a rising junior at Miami University. She is pursuing an interdisciplinary degree in Economics and Public Health. At Miami University, Audrey is involved in Women Who Invest, Butler County Stream Teams (a local environmental conservation group), and Club Broomball. She has also served as a teaching assistant in the Department of Computer Science as well as the Center for Student Success, and looks forward to assisting as a Peer Career Coach next fall.

Audrey is passionate about human behavior and dedicated to advancing social mobility by addressing systemic barriers to economic advancement. Coming from a small town in Ohio, she is eager to study at Scotland's oldest university and to soak up the rich historical context while gaining a deeper understanding of social dynamics and global awareness.

In her spare time, Audrey enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors, either hiking, hammocking, or skiing. Never having traveled outside of the US, she cannot wait to bridge connections with individuals of diverse backgrounds and explore the beauty of Scotland.
