A Starfleet lieutenant of the 32nd century, played by Vanessa Jackson, who serves as chief of security at Federation Headquarters under Fleet Admiral Charles Vance.
Lieutenant Audrey Willa is the officer responsible for security at Federation Headquarters in the 3180s. She was played by Vanessa Jackson and recurs in the third season of Star Trek: Discovery, with a further appearance in the fourth.
She is introduced in Die Trying, when the USS Discovery arrives at headquarters after its journey from the 23rd century. Willa is wary of the newcomers and oversees the questioning of the crew and the inspection of the ship.
Her suspicion eases as the crew prove themselves, and she is seen at Vance's side during later crises, including the Emerald Chain's move against headquarters at the end of the season.
