Olivia is an upcoming sophomore at Alpena Community College studying marketing. Living in Alpena, MI she has grown up around the Great Lakes and rivers and feels a strong sense to protect and advocate for them. She felt inspired to do this work and make change after an overnight sailing trip with the Inland Seas Education Association. Since then Olivia has become a youth representative on the nonprofit board for Great Lakes Great Responsibility, and started her own business campaign Continual Clothing- inspiring change through merchandise and events. Olivia is excited to expand on this work as a Marine Plastics Ambassador and collaborate with other passionate youth to create change in her community and beyond.
