Ahervuo is a 5-foot-10 guard from Espoo, Finland, who will be an incoming freshman with the Lady Toppers. Her mother, Jana Heikkila, played at WKU from 1993-94 to 1996-97 under head coach Paul Sanderford.

Ahervuo most recently played in the Finnish Top League for Tapoilan Honka. With the team, she averaged 6.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. She also played in the U19 Finnish Championship League, playing and starting in 11 games. In that league, she averaged 18.5 points per game, 8.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals.
