Olivier grew up in Harvard, Massachusetts, and graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Economics, a minor in environmental science, and a Civic Engagement & Public Service certificate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. During college, Olivier was an active participant in the Community Scholars Program, a multi-year academic community engagement and leadership program centered around intentional service, learning, discussion, and visioning.
During the summer of 2023, Olivier was a 6th Class Zero Hunger Intern placed with InterAction in their Global Development Policy and Learning division. Through this experience, Olivier cultivated advocacy skills and acquired a deeper understanding of food security in the context of global development work.
Prior to the Zero Hunger Internship, Olivier participated in the Sophomores Serve program, a one-year honors program centered around science-informed public food policy, subsequently presenting research on food insecurity among college students to policymakers at the Massachusetts State House.
Olivier is continually focused on not only further developing research, advocacy, and policy skills, but also working towards justice in all its forms.
