Ava is from Minneapolis, MN. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Health Equity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she developed a strong interest in research and health equity. Since, working in non-profit and healthcare settings have encouraged her interest in the ways research can improve health outcomes and empower participants to be apart of the scientific process relating to their lived experience.
