Automne Pavia, a French judoka, has been a prominent figure in the sport since she started practising judo at age four. Born into a family deeply rooted in judo, both her parents were instructors, which naturally led her to the sport. "I just continued with it. Of course I tried other sports, but I always came back to judo," she said.

| Season | Event | Rank |

| 2016 | Women's 57kg | Repechage Final |
| 2012 | Women's 57kg | B Bronze |
She represents US Orleans Judo club and has been coached by Christophe Massina at the national level and Daniel Fernandes at the club level. Her most memorable sporting achievement was winning a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Pavia credits her family and supporters as the most influential people in her career. She faced a significant setback in February 2015 when a serious knee injury forced her out of competition for four months.
Pavia is engaged to British judoka Ashley McKenzie, who won a gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Her father Richard is the judo technical director of the Budo Club in Carcassonne, while her mother Virginie is a judo instructor at the same club.
Looking ahead, Pavia aims to continue her successful career in judo. She plans to participate in upcoming international competitions, with hopes of adding more medals to her collection.
