Community Service: I am a youth leader at my local church and help those going through the sacrament of Confirmation find their faith. I am also in the youth ministry, which coordinates fun ministry-run events (e.g. laser tag, drive-in movies, etc.) to get younger kids involved with the church community and bond with others who share their faith. I also volunteer at my local food bank.
“Loyal, passionate, empathetic”
International Experience: My family loves to travel and in the past few years, I have visited Mexico, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and Canada. Also, at PilyQ, I learned how the company worked internationally. I oversaw a lot of shipments to and from the main warehouse that went all over the world, from Colombia to Turkey. It really gave me insight on how international businesses worked and nurtured my growing interest in business. Personal Interests/Hobbies: Some of my favorite things to do in my free time include reading, writing, skiing, and losing to my younger brother in Mario Kart. I also love listening to music, trying new foods and clothing fashions, and staying updated on world news. Three Words to Describe Herself: Loyal, passionate, empathetic. Fun Fact from Averi: I had to get 14 stitches under my right knee due to a freak ski accident.
