Conservation and climate change mitigation have been core passions for Olivia from a very young age and those passions led her to Rainforest Trust and a career in advocacy where she is excited to contribute to causes she cares about.

She holds a B.S. from Portland State University in Political Science and focused on International Relations where she conducted research on political trends and movements in Spain as part of her Senior Capstone. She then spent 5 years in Prague working on various issues like youth rights and empowerment, the intersection of politics and society, and working with climate and humanitarian NGO’s through a travel and educational lens.

Outside of work Olivia enjoys traveling, hiking with her dog, skiing in the Utah mountains, and seeking out new food and restaurants to try.
