Ava Perrine Bio

Ava Perrine is a full-time instructor teaching news and broadcast writing courses and advising WDSU “The Hive,” the campus’ radio station at Delaware State University. A self-described “Mass Comm Animal” in a career spanning more than 25 years, Perrine has worked in every area of mass communications-- radio, television, print, public relations, film, the Internet.

The Chicago native and United States Air Force veteran began her career as a student broadcaster with WSUM Radio at the Universtiy of Wisconsin-Madison. Years later, after separating from the US Air Force, Ava worked in radio news, and moved on to television news. In her varied career she has worked as a TV sports reporter/special events commentator, print news editor, columnist, radio talk show host features producer, and voice-over talent.

In a public relations capacity, Perrine worked as Deputy Press Secretary to former Delaware Governor, now U.S. Senator, Thomas R. Carper, publicist for Morale, Welfare and Recreation at Dover Air Force Base, public affairs officer and public information officer for three government agencies.

Perrine hosted and associate produced for 10 years, “Comcast Connects” and "Comcast Local Edition," two television public affairs interview programs for The Comcast Network. Perrine acted as a member of “The Grown-ups Playground” an improv theater group in New York City, appeared in small roles in three independent films, as an extra in one feature film, “Changing Lanes” starring Samuel L. Jackson & Ben Affleck, and in a small speaking role on "The Chris Rock Show" on HBO.

Currently, she is collaborating with a colleague to produce a children’s television show and pursuing a doctorate in Educational Leadership.

She has volunteered with the League of Women Voters, the United Way, Delaware Parents Association and by mayor-appointment, the Dover Arts Council. Golf, reading, gardening, cooking, Latin dancing, Crocheting, entertaining and traveling are among her diverse ininterests.

*Recently asked why she teaches, Mrs. Perrine responded, “ I do this work, because I love it and see it as a natural extension of my profession. In order to keep myself marketable I always have projects going, but it’s more than gratifying to help and guide new professionals along the path at the start of their careers. Nurturing, mentoring, coaching, cajoling and occasionally slapping someone upside the head, whatever strategy needed at the time I’m up for it. That’s what it’s about.”
