Meet The 2024 Interns!

Hi! My name is Ava Gravina and I am a senior at Norwell High School. Next year, I will be going to William & Mary!

A fun fact about me is that I am a twin; however, we cannot read each other’s minds, much to our disappointment! Furthermore, I strive to keep a busy and active lifestyle whether I am inside or outside of school. In school, I am an active participant in the National Honor Society, the school newspaper, and Peer Education where I helped acclimate a group of freshmen to high school. I also run cross-country and am captain of the swim team. Beyond academics and sports, I work at an ice cream shop and babysit. I also love to read, bake, travel, and workout in my free time! If I could try out a job, I would love to be a private chef. My favorite book is Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter and my favorite food is chicken parmesan. Currently, I am very excited to be doing an internship with Chef Abby! Every day brings newfound skills and lessons learned in the kitchen, fueling my passion for the culinary arts.

Hi! My name is Madi Davis, I'm a senior at Norwell High School, and one of Chef Abby’s interns for this spring! Next year, I’m heading off to Clemson University to study Nutrition on the Dietetics path.

I really wanted to do this internship because cooking is a passion of mine and I wanted hands-on experience in the culinary world to learn more about how it is connected to nutrition. Some of my favorite things to cook are Mediterranean chicken bowls, pizza, and lemon herb orzo. A fun fact about me is that I’m originally from North Carolina and moved here to Norwell in 5th grade! In the future, I want to learn more about food sensitivities and allergies (as I have 13!) and hope to help others on their journey to eating specifically for their health situation. I am extremely excited to learn as much as I can on this internship, and will be posting more about my personal journey with food and some research findings soon!
