About:
Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am studying Materials Science and Engineering and Environmental Studies in the IDEAS Program. Outside of the TRAC Program, I am involved in the Tour Guide Program, the UN Youth Representative Program, Rossin Junior Fellowship, Student Materials Society, club tennis, research, Martindale Student Associate Honors Program, and Lehigh Arts & Crafts club. I joined TRAC because I missed the writing I did in high school, and I wanted the opportunity to improve both my communication and that of my peers.
