Avery Mather
As sophomore student-athlete at Boston University, I’m studying Journalism and Entrepreneurship—fields that intersect at truth and action. With a passion for public speaking and writing, I am a talented, effective communicator. I connect insight with impact and make people think, feel, and see the world through different lenses. As a driven self-starter who is curious and creative, I thrive in environments where decisions require a balance of sound judgment, decisiveness, and empathic listening.A sophomore student-athlete at Boston University, I’m studying Journalism and Entrepreneurship—fields that intersect at truth and action.
