Olivia Carmichael

Associate

Olivia’s work supports strategic communications and public relations across the K-12 and postsecondary landscapes, exploring the intersection of education and social change. As a former W/A fellow, Olivia is passionate about providing equitable learning opportunities for all students, specifically those on non-traditional pathways.

Olivia graduated from the University of Florida with her B.A. in Anthropology and later received a master’s degree in European and Global Studies from the University of Padua (and is now fluent in Italian!). She has supported international think tanks in socioeconomic research and led sustainability efforts for a student-founded PFAS detection startup.

Olivia is based in Miami, Florida and can typically be found outdoors, rock climbing, working towards her GoodReads challenge, or tending to her sourdough starter.
