Brazoswood senior Ava Garza, a dedicated brand ambassador for Jostens, was recently invited to be a prominent part of the Jostens Annual Business Marketing Meeting held in Minneapolis, Minnesota in January. With a commendable two-year tenure as a brand ambassador, Ava has played a crucial role in creating engaging social media content and marketing materials for both the scholastic and yearbook divisions of Jostens.
Ava's exceptional contributions and commitment to the Jostens brand led to her being selected for a special role at the annual marketing meeting. She not only participated in a dynamic discussion panel but also showcased her modeling prowess in a Jostens apparel fashion show for a new product line. The event provided an exciting platform for Ava to share her insights and experiences as a student leader with the attendees, shedding light on the impact of Jostens in the scholastic and yearbook communities. Ava is currently the Editor-in-Chief for the Brazoswood Yearbook and has won awards showcasing her writing talents on the National level.
Beyond the glamour of the fashion show and the engaging panel discussion, Ava had the unique opportunity to network with high-level Jostens representatives. This interaction allowed her to delve into conversations about her future in career pathways. The event served as an invaluable occasion for Ava to gain perspectives and advice from industry leaders, as well as give advice to younger ambassadors newer to high school.
Ava encourages youth to “Find your people. Whenever you try to cater to the people around you, it takes you that much longer to find out who you are as a person. The longer you wait to find out who you are as a person, the longer you wait to find your people.”
Jostens, a renowned name in scholastic and yearbook solutions, continues to recognize and empower young talent like Ava Garza, who exemplifies dedication and excellence in their roles as brand ambassadors. Ava will now have the opportunity to be a resident intern at Jostens this summer in Minneapolis after graduating from Brazoswood this May. She will continue her education at LSU majoring in Marketing with an emphasis in digital marketing. Brazoswood is proud to have a student like Ava making a difference as a young leader and being future ready for her career goals.
