Recently Ava’s been acting and modeling in NYC, ATL, & Japan and continuing to hone her Japanese and Spanish language skills. She just passed her JLPT N4 in December!
Writer for KARP
I collab’d with my dear friend, the hilarious & talented comedian, writer, producer, and actor Jenny Gorelick on KARP:
“Best friends Jenny and Mak stir up trouble, contemplate motherhood, and take a few dance breaks to original song "Tsunami Mami" as they pull off a heist of a beloved betta fish.”
Coming to a film festival near you ;)
Hair Modeling with Oribe
I got bangs! I jumped at the opportunity to be a demo model for Oribe’s Principal Artist of Global Design Kien Hoang as he taught a room full of stylists how to create a modern shag tailored to me. He made me look and feel like a rockstar! The bangs are here to stay.
Commercial & VO for ChefDoodler
I showed off my kitchen and voiceover skills in a commercial for 3Doodler’s new product ChefDoodler, a 3D sugar-modeling tool that just completed fundraising.
Content Creator, Model, & Writer for Japanese Magazine
I spent 3 months working in Japan creating travel & lifestyle content for J Discovery. I cooked Japanese dishes like soba, curry, & okonomiyaki, learned cultural traditions like buyō dance & flower arranging, explored Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Karuizawa, Obuse, & Matsumoto, and renovated an old Japanese home in the mountains of Nagano. I was even tapped to write a 4-page feature about my experience in the magazine.
