Ava, a junior at WHBHS, is originally from East Quogue but moved to Westhampton in 5th grade. In her free time, she likes to hangout with her friends at the beach and go on boat rides with her dad in the summer. Ava’s favorite holiday is the 4th of July – she loves the fireworks. Chasing Mavericks is her favorite movie because she likes the surf story line. The Conti family takes an annual trip to Nicaragua, where they have a home. After high school she wants to go to college and become a nurse anesthetist, her dream job, and live on the water in East Quogue. This is her first year writing for The Hurricane Eye.
