She began her career in teaching as a volunteer tutor for Laubach Literacy Action in Irvine, California. From there, she went on to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) for Santa Ana College, Berlitz Language Centers, and other schools. While at Santa Ana College, she received a faculty mini-grant to support her statewide presentations to ESL teachers and literacy tutors. In 2010, she was awarded Berlitz’s “Instructor of the Year” for her branch school.

Avila views teaching ESL and literacy as a community service. She has taught not only in California but in Hawaii, Mexico, and Japan as well.

Her interests have led her to earning a “Competent Toastmaster” ranking from Toastmasters International, studying radio broadcasting, and performing in community theater. She loves the outdoors and hiking.
