MA Student
Born and raised in Texas, Olivia is proud to continue her education at the University of Texas in the Media Studies Program. She graduated with her B.S. Radio-Television-Film and B.A. Mathematics degrees from UT in 2015, and she works full-time at the University as the Program Coordinator for the Women in Natural Sciences Program.
Her interests in Media Studies include German cinema, fandom studies, film history, and the intersection of communication and STEM. Olivia has always been passionate about the importance of communication in STEM fields, and she actively encourages her students to explore their interests outside of science as well as apply their technical and critical-thinking skills outside of the lab.
In her free time, Olivia is either playing video games, talking to her cats, painting her nails, or watching Top Gun (1986). You might even catch her as a guest lecturer at Alamo Drafthouse as well.
