Hi, I’m Averi ! I am a senior at Lake Travis High School in Austin and I am going to the University of Alabama next year to double major in Psychology and Business. Roll Tide!
As of now, I am a basketball manager at my school for the Men’s Basketball team and I get to work with the coaches and players doing organizational stuff and working at the games. This is my second year as a manager and I have loved getting to learn more about the game and be involved with my school. I also played competitive golf for 7 years which was one of the most shaping opportunities I have had. My freshman and sophomore year in high school I played on the Lake Travis Varsity girls team and won 2nd in state! It was one of the coolest things I got to experience and I am so grateful for all of the things golf has taught me. Throughout my high school, I’ve also been so blessed to be able to be in the National Honors Program, the Texas Advocacy Project as a teen ambassador, and being in the National Charity League since 6th grade. Through these organizations, I have been able to volunteer throughout my community and learn so much from my mentors.
These past two years have definitely been some of the most rewarding years so far in my short life. I was blessed to receive an internship at Pfister & Associates Family Law firm where I learned so much about law, business tools, and how to work with so many different people. I had a breast reduction surgery that has allowed me to break out of my comfort zone and gain so much confidence in myself. Out of all of the things that has happened throughout these past few years though, I have been the most blessed to be able to be a Wyldlife leader for 25 7th grade girls. Over the past two years with them, I have laughed, cried, and grown with my girls, and I have loved being able to be a mentor for them. They keep me accountable for my actions and remind me of the most important things in life, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of the moments I have had with them.
This past year, I have absolutely loved working with Richard as one of his Influencer models. It has been so much fun being able to bring out my inner model during shoots, and feeling the prettiest I have ever felt while looking at the results. I am beyond excited to be able to represent his studio, RichardParker.io, in Vegas this year! I am so grateful to be selected for this amazing opportunity and I am so excited to be able to work with other models and photographers. Thank you so much, One Collective, for this experience and I am so excited to see y’all in Vegas!
