Hello, I'm Ava, originally born & raised in Saint Petersburg, FL. After graduating from high school, I moved to Tampa and went to USF with an Army Reserved Officer Traning Corps (AROTC) Scholarship with a focus in Nursing. After graduating in 1995, I fulfilled my scholarship duties in serving as an Army Nurse Corps Officer (ANC). I served about 13+ yrs and moved back to Tampa, where I've resided for more than15 years. I enjoy outdoor activities and being healthy in general. I am excited to serve as the Greater Tampa ONS President, where we can share our experiences and expertises to grow individually as well as professionally on a continual basis. My MOTTO: Swift, Austere, & Highly Selective!
