President of Innovation

As a Co-founder and the President of Innovation, I help students validate ideas, build MVPs, and connect with mentors and real-world industry support. I also help plan events, workshops, and guest speaker sessions. My passion lives at the intersection of AI, startups, and creating spaces where women feel empowered to build fearlessly. When I'm not fueling the next wave of changemakers, you'll probably find me chasing sunsets at Mem U, exploring new cafés and restaurants, listening to music, or deep in a founder brainstorm. Always up for chatting about startups, ideas, or life over good coffee or boba.

VP of External

Hi everyone! I'm Olivia, and I'm thrilled to serve as VP of External of the Women in Entrepreneurship student organization at UW–Madison. I co-founded WE to empower ambitious and creative women to connect, collaborate, and grow in whatever step they may be in their entrepreneurial journeys. I'm studying Consumer Behavior & Marketplace Studies, Entrepreneurship, and Business, and I'm passionate about turning bold ideas into real impact. Co-founding this club with Trinity has been one of the most rewarding parts of college, and I'm excited to help others build confidence and access the tools they need to launch ventures. Whether it's through hosting events, creating content, or providing mentorship, I'm eager to help WE thrive on campus. Outside of WE, you'll find me grabbing a matcha latte on State Street, hitting the gym, exploring new study spots, FaceTiming my family (mostly asking to see the dog), shopping, and spending time with friends. Can't wait to connect with you all!
