Ava Infantino

I'm a homeschooled Christian with a deep love for communication and connection. I've spent the last few years immersed in competitive speech and debate—not just locally, but on an international level. I've had the incredible opportunity to compete in Switzerland, Croatia, Prague, and Austria against teams like Harvard in a world debate format. While competing in STOA, a national speech and debate organization, I was personally invited to the National Invitational Tournament of Champions, and I received the Founders Award.

Beyond competing, I've found real joy in giving back to the community by coaching my local speech and debate club. I also serve as a children’s ministry leader at my church, where I’ve learned how to lead with patience and adaptability. Whether I’m on a stage or building relationships one-on-one, I thrive in environments where listening, engaging, and making people feel understood are key.

Outside of academics and leadership, I stay active and make fitness a daily priority by regularly going to the gym. I’ve trained in Krav Maga, kickboxing, self-defense, and have participated in swimming, diving, and soccer.
