Audra Wheeler
-A Pecan Turtle-
Salty, Sweet, and Nastalgic
Much like a pecan turtle, I am a crowd-pleaser in the folowing ways:
- Devoted to a job well-done
- Leader and a follower
- Confident yet humble
- Friendly, helpful, positive, and supportive.
I am also a pecan turtle because it is a favorite confection made in my family's candy store. At an early age, my work at Candy Wrappers developed my strong work ethic, versatility, appreciation of team work, and ability to provide customer service.

Modern Twist
I am a leaner! I like to keep-up with modern trends and reinvent my talents in new ways. I also like to learn/use technology.
Chef
I love to cook and to "cook-up" ideas. I am creative, detail-oriented, and love to make a thoughtful plan of action to follow.
Collaborate
A box of chocolates...rarely sold individually!
I am at my best when I can collaborate to refine ideas, gain expertise from others, and unify efforts.
