Hello! I'm Olivia Volmar, and I am currently a junior at Tufts University. In my junior year of high school, I interned at a local autism support group which changed my trajectory in life. I became immediately passionate about neurodiversity and human (especially pediatric) services. Beyond that, I naturally excel at language learning and had interests in neuroscience and bilingualism, so I decided to pursue a career path in speech-language pathology. I strongly advocate for interdisciplinary learning and have interests in science and history, so in addition to my major in Child Study & Human Development, I am pursuing minors in Africana Studies and Cognitive Brain Sciences. My educational path and experiences participating on a committee for a Black Women's Conference, working with autistic children and adolescents, and tutoring math & reading reflect my desire to do what excites me and fulfills me.
