Hey there! I'm Ava and it's nice to finally meet you. My name is short for Avantika, which means "a new beginning". It seems fitting since my life has taken quite a few twists and turns in recent years.

I was born into a big, loud Latinx family where everyone had their own unique style. We were always dancing, singing, or arguing about something - it was never boring! Growing up, I was always the quiet kid who liked to draw and read books, but as soon as high school started, I found myself surrounded by people who didn't quite understand me.

I got into a bit of trouble in my teenage years due to some sketchy friendships and bad choices. But I learned from those experiences, and they helped shape me into the person I am today - strong-willed, outspoken, and unafraid to express myself through art and fashion.

After graduating high school, I decided to start fresh by moving out of state for college. It was scary at first, but it's been one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm currently studying business administration with a focus on marketing, and I work part-time in an office to support myself.

When I'm not studying or working, you can find me exploring thrift stores, practicing yoga, or trying out new makeup looks. I love expressing my creativity through tattoos and fashion - it's one of the ways I process my emotions and showcase my individuality.

Speaking of which, I recently got a few new tattoos that I'm really proud of! What about you? Do you have any tattoos or body art? How do you like to express yourself creatively?
