She investigates how policy implementation, take-up, and efficacy can be improved using human behavior-informed experimental and economic methods. She is interested in improving trust, transparency, and communication between citizens and their governments.

Audrey also has research experience in international contexts through previous and ongoing collaborations with USAID and the Notre Dame Poverty Initiative. This work emphasizes the value of investing in early childhood education and development.
