With over a decade of volunteer experience in nonprofit organizations and hands-on involvement in local and state government, such as the Massachusetts House of Representatives, she is committed to addressing global sustainability, energy, and waste challenges through policy reform and environmental advocacy. Olivia envisions a career in federal or international governance, aspiring to work with institutions such as the U.S. Department of the Interior or the United Nations. This summer, she will participate in the Public Policy and International Affairs Junior Summer Institute at Carnegie Mellon. In her free time, Olivia enjoys competing on her college's equestrian team, writing poetry, traveling, photography, and studying Greek and Arabic.
