Ava Viohl Email and Phone Number

My name is Ava Viohl, and I recently graduated from the University of Virginia. While at UVA, I majored in Public Policy & Leadership, which deepened my passion for creating positive societal change. Additionally, I minored in French and Entrepreneurship.My journey has led me to the next phase of my education, as I will attend the London School of Economics in the upcoming fall. There, I am excited to pursue a Master's degree in Political Science specializing in Global Politics.In 2017, I founded Unbeauty Mark, a project that emerged from my personal experiences and a TEDx Talk I delivered advocating for a more body-positive society. Unbeauty Mark aims to empower individuals to reject the airbrushed and filtered version of today's beauty standards. Unbeauty Mark donates fifty percent of its proceeds to the United Nations Girl Up Foundation.Expanding upon its initial success, Unbeauty Mark recently launched at UVA, providing students with a safe space for open dialogue through our Honesty Hour sessions and the Beauty Within Project. Additionally, we conduct self-image workshops, equipping students with coping skills and promoting a healthy self-image.I am thrilled to continue my journey at the London School of Economics and look forward to exploring new avenues for creating positive social change on a global scale.
