Aviva received a B.A. in theater arts and an M.A. in education from Rutgers University and acted in small theaters and independent films in New York City. During every class she took, every play she did, and every scene she shot, she imagined creating a fun and accepting environment for others to gain confidence and experience too. Aviva has taught children’s theatre classes, run theater programs at summer camps, and worked with up-and-coming stars of all ages. Being a mom to Lilah, Sadie, and Evan is still her favorite job of all though!
