Hi! My name is Ava Lopez and I am a senior this year! This will be my fourth year in the dance department and my second year on Pulse/Pom. I’m looking forward to spending my last year of high school doing what I love with my favorite people! I am super stoked for football season to start because I love performing on the sidelines, half time, and getting to bond with my team throughout the crazy night! Despite concert time being long and hectic, it brings such fun memories to the team, especially the dressing room which I am super excited to decorate now that I am a senior! Overall, I love every aspect of this team and I can’t wait to close out this chapter with my life long passion– dance!
