Drawn to grounded, soft-hearted, often hard-shelled, and emotionally volatile characters, Ava's strength lies in subtle and character driven realism. Trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute through NYU Tisch, she is passionate about theater, film, television, and storytelling in general, and constantly expanding her range. Recently, Ava played Guildenstern in LSTFI’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. This summer, Ava will be spending a few weeks training in Commedia dell’Arte in Florence Italy, and in the fall she will be taking on a lead role in Tisch Drama Stage’s Student Works play, Hudsom. She has also done film and television work with a few student and independent filmmakers. Ava is also one of the first selected for the Tisch Drama Chair Recognition of Excellence, established this year.
