Despite all the concerns from her family about the dangers of Oklahoma tornados, Ava decided to follow her dreams to OSU. As an undergrad student, Ava became the President of the Latino Business Association and was a jack of all trades when it came to her many jobs on campus. She enjoyed her time working for the Competitive Sports program and Department of Wellness for three years until she then found a passion for teaching and research. This led her to tutor Spanish at the LASSO Center, and become a Teaching Assistant for the international management course with Dr. Aime. But the best thing that OSU gave her was a newfound passion for research and creating knowledge. Upon graduation, she plans to keep this passion alive by pursuing a Ph.D. in Management with a focus on linguistic ideologies and their implications in the workplace.

“Ava is a brilliant, naturally curious person who intrinsically enjoys learning. I think these qualities will serve her well in her desired future profession of academia.”
