Audrey Dolar (A. D.) Tejada was born in the Philippines and raised in southwest Oklahoma. She majored in literature at Cornell University and studied creative writing with the poet and essayist Kenneth McClane. Her graduate degree in broadcast journalism is from Boston University where her adviser was William Lord, former ABC News executive who produced World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, and Nightline.

Audrey entered academia after training at World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, CNN International, and WCVB, the flagship Hearst-Argyle television station in Boston. She has worked closely with eminent Harvard Law School Professor and Vice Dean Charles Ogletree, a mentor and adviser to President Barack Obama. Accepting a position as a Harvard Administrative Fellow in the program administered by the Office of the Assistant to the President, she also worked alongside Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to bring leading intellectuals and authors, Nobel laureates, MacArthur fellows, and Pulitzer Prize winners on campus to read and discuss their work.

She is a past elected member of the Cornell University Board of Trustees and was initiated into the Quill and Dagger Society. She was also a finalist for Glamour magazine’s Top Ten College Women. Currently, Audrey is a chair in the Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN) of 7, 000 volunteers.

Audrey is inspired by her extended family of relatives and friends and her independent travels through 5 continents, 35 countries, and 48 states, to date. Her creative projects include: Strange Tango, literary fiction; Millennium Muse, narrative nonfiction, essays, and observations; and StrangeTango.com, a personal website/blog about life as art that showcases her writings, photography, and inspirations.

Two months after its launch in Boston, StrangeTango.com was included in a presentation on innovation, leadership, and creativity as part of the honors business curriculum at a major university.
