It is her belief that struggles are only temporary that has allowed her to transform her life, and earned her a successful career in business, motivational speaking, training, and mentoring.
Inspired by iconic matriarchs such as Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou, Ava strives to empower women from all backgrounds to embrace their situation and overcome adversity in order to develop into strong, successful mothers, wives, and career women.
Growing up in Jamaica, Ava was one of nine children and spent much of her time selling mangoes on the suburban streets of St Elizabeth. Despite often missing school in order to earn the money that the family desperately needed, Ava retained her unquenchable thirst for education.
It was this instilled drive and desire to achieve her dreams that empowered her to make her ambition of inspiring others a reality. She qualified as a teacher and went on to study a US-based business degree before moving to the UK in 2002, to work as a teacher, accompanied by her three year old daughter Chardonae.
It was at this point, that Ava decided to follow her heart and pursue her dreams of becoming a business woman. Completing an MBA, her achievements reflect her can do attitude to life and her determination to achieve her goals. Today, Ava thrives in her position as Global Business Development Manager in the maritime sector.
Now living in Croydon with a family of her own, Ava is driven by the desire to create a strong legacy for her children that will ensure they never have to undergo the struggles she experienced in her early life. In addition to her desire to become a successful, multi-faceted business woman, her ultimate dream is to become an established author and host her very own talk show, which she hopes will act as an instrument to reach a wider audience of women.
The highlight of her career to-date was when she was invited to be a guest on the high profile, Jamaican talk show, Profile. This was a particularly poignant moment for Ava who, as a young child growing up in Jamaica, had always aspired to sit in that chair. Fulfilling this lifelong ambition was a truly special moment for Ava.
When she’s not working, Ava dedicates her time to her other passion – her children. She has a love of travel and, in her own words, loves nothing more than, “hopping on a plane and discovering somewhere new.”
Ava is one of life’s go getters. She is ambitious, steadfast, and perseverant. She is highly focussed and determined to reach her full potential, regardless of the barriers she has faced. A positive thinker, Ava believes that with the right attitude, all obstacles can be overcome. One thing is for certain, Ava doesn’t let life’s challenges stand in her way, instead she seeks to find the positive in all of life’s experiences, drawing upon them to become a stronger person.
The one thing that Ava hopes others will take away from her triumphant story is that, “you should never allow where you’re from to limit your possibilities. She hopes that, through her motivational speaking, she can inspire this attitude in others.
