Ava’s love for the arts started at a young age. Her parents put her in gymnastics when she turned four, and she had a strong passion for the bars. By age seven she transitioned away from gymnastics and decided she wanted to dance! 

She started recital dance at De Pere Park and Rec, which took her through middle school. Ava’s favorite styles were jazz and hip-hop. When she turned sixteen, she joined Dance Unlimited School of Performing Arts’ recreational program. After such a great experience, she decided to give competitive dance a try. Ava competed in a jazz troupe, a large production number, and she competed in a contemporary duet. Ava has a passion for wanting to make a difference and help people. 

Ava graduated in 2025, and is currently studying nursing at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and working as a psychiatric nursing assistant. When she is not at the studio, working or school, she enjoys going on adventures with her four-legged best friends.
