The Perfect Latino is Ávila’s second one-man show bringing a message about diversity and breaking down barriers.

Ávila teaches English at Northampton Community College, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He is also the author of thriller novels and poetry volumes. One of his novels, Different, was made into a movie. He earned a master’s degree from the University of Puerto Rico and a Ph.D. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he is bilingual in Spanish and English. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including Pennsylvania Professor of the Year and most recently the 2021 William Aguilar Cultural Award given by the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education.
