About

Ava's passion for performance was kindled at a young age, from staging “very serious” interpretive dance pieces at family gatherings to performing her illustrious “sad ABCs” — a tearful rendition of the alphabet song. Her early years were also marked by a decade of competitive gymnastics, a discipline that only deepened her love for performance. The day after she hung up her leotard, she was cast as the lead in her middle school musical, igniting a love for acting that grows stronger with every role.

Whether portraying Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker or a rehab patient with superpowers, Ava’s repertoire spans an array of roles and genres. She strives to uncover the raw, unfiltered truth of the human experience through her characters, with her work deeply rooted in feminist storytelling and mental health advocacy. She is driven by a desire to inspire others to confront self-doubt, reclaim their voices, and pursue their passions. As a background actor in popular movies and TV series on HBO, FX, Netflix, and more, she has had the chance to collaborate with renowned industry figures such as Adam Sandler, Jennifer Lynch, Jason Bateman, Jude Law, Jennifer Lopez, Jaeden Martell, and Josh Andrés Rivera.

Ava is the lead singer of the acoustic duo The Ravens, performing country, rock, and pop favorites at restaurants, private events, country clubs, and bars throughout New Jersey and New York. She also performs with a variety of rock bands at weddings, parties, festivals, and other venues, and has appeared in cabarets at Don’t Tell Mama NYC, 54 Below, and The Green Room 42. While at NYU, Ava was a soprano in the university’s premier acappella group, The Cleftomaniacs, which has garnered multiple national accolades over the years.

Beyond the arts, Ava is a passionate foodie, a waitress, and a published journal author!
