Avery Turner is a junior at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a B.S. in Corporate Communications on the pre-law track, with a minor in International Business. Since joining the LSJA team in September 2024, she has been eager to drive change in the juvenile justice system, fueled by her passion for advocating for vulnerable youth and reforming systemic inequities. Last fall, she interned at the World Affairs Council, where she assisted with research on current global policy issues and engaged with members and the community through social media and communications. After completing her undergraduate degree, Avery plans to attend law school and pursue a career in corporate and international law. In her free time, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her friends and family!
