In her last semester, she completed an internship (under an attorney) at Kids Voice, a non-profit organization in Pittsburgh. Attorneys at Kids Voice represent more than 5,000 abused and neglected children in Allegheny County in dependency hearings. During her internship, Avellino conducted home visits and worked closely with a supervising attorney to prepare cases for the courts.
A 1999 graduate of Mount Carmel Area High School, Avellino is a daughter of Peter Jr. and Nora Avellino of Kulpmont, and a granddaughter of Agnes (Shlikas) Avellino of Kulpmont and the late Peter Avellino Sr., and of Louise (Rataczak) Searfoss of Jim Thorpe and the late John Searfoss.
