Ava here, an International Business student at Pepperdine with an emphasis on Finance and Sustainability, juggling triathlon training and running club with markets and new opportunities. Confidence isn't decided, it's built, as Eileen Gu put it, she trains like she's never won, her results are just how she finds out. I've put in that work through my races, and it shows. From my 12 years of competitive swimming, I hadn't figured that out yet. Ambition doesn't have to mean burnout, and I'm here to show what that balance actually looks like, unfiltered.

​

Fitness has always been home for me, whether it's an early morning run or race day, movement keeps me grounded. Matcha in hand, I try to fuel that lifestyle as intentionally as I train for it. I'm just as invested in growing my mind as my body though, from finance to languages to whatever I'm curious about next, learning never really stops for me.

Underneath all of it is a pull toward something bigger than myself, a love for the ocean and the community around it that I carry with me wherever I go.

​

I'm so glad you're here. This is a space for fitness, growth, curiosity, and connection. Come along for the journey.
