Ava is a proud graduate of Michigan State University and currently serves as the Deputy Director of Communications for the House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC).  Prior to her role at HRCC, she served as the Legislative Aide to State Representative Curt VanderWall. Her experience spans both politics and media, including working as an on-air personality at 96.9 WBTI. She is also deeply involved with the City Rescue Mission of Lansing, where she supports homeless women and children.
