Audrain is a 2017 Brophy College Preparatory and Rio Salado dual enrollment graduate, who is attending Arizona State University, and serving as the national student president of Educators Rising to make a difference in teaching and Arizona’s K-12 schools.

Audrain decided to pursue education after developing a love for teaching from his parents.

“My mom came to the United States from Thailand to pursue a master’s degree in education and my dad is a teacher now,” Audrain said. “From a young age, I saw the impact that teachers made on myself and others.”
