Audrey (Newlon) Hirschman
Audrey Hirschman graduated with the Sheridan High School class of 2010. She played basketball and was a long distance runner on the cross-country and track teams. As one of the pianists in the jazz band, she tickled the ivories at concerts and dances and was invited to play with the All-State Jazz Band her senior year.
Hirschman was a member of the National Honor Society and served as senior class president, recently helping host the unexpectedly postponed 11-year class reunion last summer.
Following high school, Hirschman attended the University of Colorado Denver on scholarship, where she completed a bachelor's degree in music with an emphasis in music industry studies. Interested in the convergence of music and technology, she continued her studies in the computer science program at Colorado State University, exploring a breadth of topics from neural networks to the math behind cryptography.
Working as a teaching assistant for introductory Java programming courses, Hirschman helped students troubleshoot their chess programs and picked crumbs out of the keyboards. As an officer of the Association for Computing Machinery for Women, she promoted diversity within the department and helped foster a welcoming environment for new students. After completing undergraduate coursework, Hirschman worked on a team in research and development at HP Inc. while completing her master's degree in computer ccience.
Hirschman returned to Sheridan after her now-husband, Jake Hirschman, began working as technical director for the Whitney Center for the Arts. She is currently a software developer at AgTerra Technologies, a local software company that specializes in mobile and cloud based mapping and record keeping systems for natural resources professionals. Hirschman still considers her studies in music and math to be driving forces in her career path and attributes many of her successes to her instructors along the way.
Being back in Sheridan has provided her with ample opportunities to spend time with family and get reacquainted with four-way stops. She spends her spare time shuffling along nearby trail systems, exploring dungeons with her D&D group, asking her husband to turn the guitar volume down and discussing with him whether they should get a cat.
