Ava is set to graduate this May 2026 with a BFA in Illustration and a Dance Minor from Northern Illinois University. In the visual arts she's studied 2D practices such as painting, drawing, printmaking, animation, and illustration; as well as 3D practices like ceramics and z-brush (3D modeling).

In the performing arts, she began her journey in Springfield, Illinois training for the dance competition stage. During this time she became certified to teach Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Acro through the Southern Association of Dance Masters. At university, she continued to refine her technical and choreographic skills.

During her summers she's trained at both Danceworks Chicago and Hubbard Street Dance for their Summer Intensives.

For her future, she hopes to continue along in her creative endeavors pursuing both her illustrative and kinesthetic artistry.
