Hey, I’m Ava!
(She/He/They)
I am a self-motivated, detail-oriented freelance writer with a focus on food, and micro-bakery owner. I champion social justice, am currently querying a food-adjacent memoir, am passionate about media, and serving my community.
I’m teaching my kids to destigmatize the word “fat” and that food doesn’t have moral value. It isn’t always easy.
