She has been part of a band and is active in Mode Music and Performing Arts, as well as the community group “As Many Weirdos as Possible.” Ava’s work reflects her belief that music transcends boundaries, celebrates diversity, and brings joy to both students and the wider community. Through every note, she continues to inspire young learners to find their voices and the joy of self-expression.
