Ava Edwards, Staff Writer

Ava has a fun-loving personality and she loves venturing out of her comfort zone. You can typically find her laughing with her friends in the halls or taking a sip from her morning Bubblr before class. Outside of school, she’s usually at her local Crumbl, dance class, or stressing about what to wear to school the next day. Ava is on the BSM Dance Team and plays Ultimate Frisbee in the spring. She enjoys traveling, hanging out with her friends, and playing with her dogs, Harley and Leah. She may look intimidating at first because she is known to have a mean resting face, but once you get to know her, she is a joy to be around.
