Averielle is passionate about languages, traveling, and community service. She spent her senior year studying French, German, Spanish, and Latin; all the languages her school offered. She was also an active member of several community service clubs and volunteered more hours than she can count. Averielle's goals for the year are to learn to speak Portuguese fluently, make lots of new friends, and leave a positive lasting impression on her Brazilian community.
