Avery is described as energetic, fun, and caring especially when she’s spending her free time outside of school to be with her family and friends. She emphasizes the interest in murder mystery’s that she likes to read while watching her favorite genre of film horror. Also, outside of school, she likes to go to the gym and then eat some of her favorite foods which include cheesecake and pasta served by her family. Once Avery graduates from high school her plans academically include going to S.C.C for two years to gain prerequisites, then to transfer to the University of Iowa. She’s not entirely sure what she’s going to major in for college, but she is reflecting on her favorite moments from the last couple of years. One memorable moment for her included going to Sarasota, FL for vacation and aspires to one day go to Bora Bora with her best friend Jennifer Little.
