Ava Wills

Driven and compassionate individual with a strong foundation in hands-on care, collaboration, and problem-solving. From helping care for livestock and manage daily tasks on my grandmother’s farm in Ellijay, Georgia, to supporting elderly residents through creative activities at Roselane Health Center, I’ve developed a deep sense of responsibility, adaptability, and empathy. Known for building meaningful connections, supporting team efforts, and staying detail-oriented under pressure, I bring a grounded, people-first approach to any environment. Passionate about creating positive experiences and contributing to communities with purpose and heart.
