Ava Peinhardt is a junior who is new to the Wingspan staff. While writing has always been a passion of hers, journalism is a new experience that Ava hopes will expand her skillset. In addition to Wingspan, she is also a member of the band and various clubs. In her (extremely limited) free time, Ava loves some not-so-friendly competition (especially when she’s gaming) as well as binge-watching Marvel movies.
