About
Hello!
I’m Olivia—a photographer, writer, traveler, and lover of iced coffee and early morning light. My background is in digital communications and sustainable development; my passion is multimedia storytelling.
I recently received a master’s degree in development practice (MDP) from UC Berkeley, where I focused on sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean. I’m particularly interested in the nexus of climate change, agriculture, and rural development. I seek to pursue a career that combines research and storytelling to inspire action at scale on pressing environmental challenges.
I also hold a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and geography from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo, where I first became interested in development work while studying abroad in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Upon my return, I spent my senior year researching alternative development strategies in coca-growing regions of central Peru.
In my free time, you can find me exploring the Bay Area with a camera in hand or taking in the many sights of my hometown, Washington, D.C.
