Andrea Avila, also known as Arti by her friends, is a junior at Hoover High School.

She was born on July 2 and loves the winter despite being born in the summer season. Her friends would describe her as caring and sweet and would do anything for her friends. She loves traveling outside the country and her most favorite places are Italy, Oaxaca, and Mexico City.

She aspires to be a pediatrician or a dermatologist one day and help many patients in the future. She loves to bake and learn new recipes, currently she enjoys making cookies, cake, and banana bread!

Throughout her time at Hoover, she has met various students and teachers that she thankfully has gotten close to. Despite constantly complaining about being at school, they continue to look forward to going and being with her friends. Andrea loves having her friends around her side but also enjoys the peace and quiet when she is alone. She thinks that having a tranquil life is important in order to not stress out.

Andrea hopes to make a change to the future by helping many future patients who are feeling ill. The feeling of helping those who are in need is a very special feeling that contributes to her community by making everyone feel great. She also believes that standing up for those who are oppressed nowadays is important, with how this world currently is she believes that everyone needs to put in their part and defend those who are minorities and ones that are being attacked. Everyone can make a change and help those who are in need, and it’s something that Andrea will stand by with.
