Audrey Melgar

Audrey is a Mechanical Engineering 2T3 with creativity and music at her center. Unlike the rest of her family, she wasn’t thrilled with the idea of growing up to become a doctor, but she has kept the medical field close to her through her specialization in Bioengineering and Mechatronics. This year, Audrey is a Comanaging Director at UT BIOME and is joining the EdTech Office for the summer as a Co-op Online Learning Assistant.

Audrey talks about her love for music as a big part of her life. As an escape from the classical pieces she practiced in her early piano lessons, she taught herself how to play the guitar, and more recently, the bass. Learning on her own taught her independence, which she describes as an asset in her academic and work life. Having previously worked on marketing for UT BIOME, Audrey has experience in web page and graphic design. Working at the EdTech Office, Audrey hopes, will challenge her creativity, and allow her to continue developing her artistic skills with blog posts, video editing, and other forms of content creation. These days, Audrey is especially excited to learn more about Quercus course design, and learning more about the platforms she has been using as a student for the past two years.
