In 1955, Audney moved to Los Angeles, California, to begin her career as a teacher. Her son, Gordon, was also born the same year. Due to the strict regulations for becoming a teacher in Los Angeles at the time, it became very difficult for her to secure a fulltime position as a teacher in the LA. area. In1956.

She was forced to make the ultimate sacrifice and leave her son with her sister in Order to take a teaching job in El Centro, Ca (216 miles from Los Angeles) to allow her to fulfill the requirements to become a teacher. She knew that her short-term sacrifice would allow her to put her family in a better situation to succeed. In 1963 Audrey obtained a substitute teaching position with the LA. Unified School District, and after overcoming many obstacles, she finally became a full-time teacher. She continued working at 111th Street School and Loren Miller Elementary School until she retired in 1998.
