Ava Dorn

Ava Dorn joined WWAY in July as a Multimedia Journalist.

She graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Multimedia Journalism with a minor in Event Management from Virginia Tech in May 2024. While at Virginia Tech Ava was active in Greek life as a member of Delta Gamma.

Prior to joining the WWAY News team Ava worked at WJHG TV in Panama City Beach, Florida producing and reporting daily and covering breaking news.

Ava was born and raised in Virginia and comes to Wilmington from Ashburn, Virginia. After spending many summer vacations in Wrightsville Beach, Ava’s parents moved from Virginia to Wilmington and Ava decided to join them. The sense of community and proximity to the country’s most beautiful beaches is something Ava enjoys about living in Wilmington.

Outside of the newsroom, Ava enjoys going to the beach, exploring her new home, and traveling to catch up with friends.

As of right now, Ava is the weekend reporter for our Sunday evening newscasts. If you have a fun story idea on a Saturday or Sunday- email her at adorn@wwaytv3.com
