Our Team

Our international leadership team is composed of dedicated individuals who are passionate about helping IPV survivors and underserved populations. We are committed to providing the support and resources needed to empower those we serve.

Veronica Van Slyck

Veronica, the founder and executive director of Reignite Resumes, became aware of IPV at a young age and dedicated her time and effort to finding solutions. After conducting research and interviews with experts, she gained an understanding of domestic violence and the gaps in the services being provided to IPV survivors. The result of that research was Reignite Resumes, a nonprofit organization she founded in 2025. In her role, Veronica oversees our international leadership team, strategic planning, operations, and marketing. In 2025, she completed resume writing coursework. In addition to this role, Veronica is student and active member of her school community.

Ava Woroch

Ava, the official art director of Reignite Resumes, is proud to be part of this youth-led nonprofit organization. In her role, she uses her artistic skills to create stimulating visuals for all of Reignite Resumes’ materials. She hopes to assuage, comfort, and inspire visitors to our website, social media platforms, and other online services through the use of graphic design and other artistic media. In addition to her position as art director for Reignite Resumes, Ava likes to spend her free time performing in theater and creating other pieces of fine art to keep or potentially sell.
