Ava San Agustin is an eighteen-year-old engineering student at the University of Alberta with a passion for both the sciences and the arts. Ava’s love for poetry began in grade ten, when an inspiring Language Arts teacher encouraged her to write more — even if only for ten minutes. While Ava has chosen a path that does not overtly let her explore this side, she hopes to keep creativity as an important part of her life. A fun fact is that Ava can say the alphabet backwards pretty fast!
