Audrey exemplifies great leadership and continually strives to make improved differences in individual lives and in the community. Audrey Wilcox’s Motivational segment “Get A Grip” has aired on Indyjz.com, an internet jazz radio station since December of 2008. Now, Audrey has joined Neo Jazz Radio as our Motivational Speaker. Audrey Wilcox’s daily word of encouragement “Get a Grip” reaches and encourages thousands of listeners daily. Her daily messages motivate, uplift, encourage and sometimes add humor to various life situations. With today’s strained economy causing financial and personal stress, Audrey’s positive motivational messages have been and will continue to be welcomed by our listeners and other audiences as she embarks upon speaking in our community to youth and outreach programs.

Audrey Wilcox is currently an Education Coordinator for Indiana Organ Procurement Organization, an organization that is involved with recovery of organs for transplantation. In the field of organ and tissue donation, she advocates for those who are on the transplant list. Her role in the donation process is to coordinate trainings and workshops for the entire organization so that they are more proficient within their skill set and professionalism. Overall, the skill enhancements provide validity in the decision making process of organ donation and the allocating process of organs so that the outcome is beneficial for the recipients.
Other involvements with her organization include, providing education to the minority community through IOPO’s Multicultural Committee about organ donation and the need for more diversity in donor candidates. There are a great number of myths and misconceptions that have evolved over the years that interfere with a person’s choice to make an informed decision. Alongside the Multicultural Committee’s mission, her goal is to educate, ridding the myths and misconceptions in various communities. Audrey has contributed to the community by being involved in radio announcements and events sponsored by WTLC promoting the need of organ and tissue donation.
Audrey is also a Registered Respiratory Therapist and has been in practice for 14 years. Her career history is vast. Formerly, Audrey worked as a Clinical Specialist where she gained tremendous experience in the field of cardiac, neuro-critical, and general intensive care. She has had the opportunity to work with patients and their families helping them to better understand the acute and chronic effects of the patient’s condition. Audrey has participated on the medical panel for Down Syndrome, advising parents, caretakers, and healthcare providers who have had concerns and questions about respiratory complications that are common in the diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Moreover, Audrey has taught Respiratory Therapy at IVY Tech for four years. In that role, she not only educated her students, she inspired them and encouraged them through the process of their educational experience. In that regard, one thing that remains constant is Audrey’s genuineness and her love for people that causes her to encourage and motivate in any situation. We are pleased and honored to have Audrey Wilcox on the Neo Jazz radio Team!
