In 2007, during her Senior year studying Fine Arts with an emphasis in Sculpture at the University of Delaware, Ava made up her mind that she would one day establish a center for creativity in her hometown of Dade City, Florida. 16 years later her dream has finally come to fruition!
Ava has spent decades traveling, and living throughout the US and South Korea, absorbing the rich heritages and knowledge acquired through academic pursuits and gifted through friendships she cultivated along the way.
A self-proclaimed "student of all and master of none", Ava has dedicated much of her life to acquiring knowledge and skills, with a heavy emphasis in the performing arts, visual arts, and language arts.
She is currently engaged with learning and teaching the art of the Letterpress, working at her Title Company, playing with her pups, fixing up her 1870s home, helping her parents, and ALWAYS finding ways to improve the work environment and add to the tools and offerings at The Nest!
