"Leadership isn't about knowing what to do all the time and always having the right answer, it's realizing that sometimes the right answer is stepping back and letting someone else lead the way."
Once graduated, Olivia moved from North Carolina to New Jersey on her own to study at Seton Hall University. She became a member of the Honors program, the Buccino Leadership Institute, and clubs across campus. Olivia thrived upon arriving at Seton Hall and realized just how many opportunities were at her fingertips. She began to make connections across campus, participating in Theatre Council productions and finding her place at the University. Upon completion of her freshman year, Olivia had maintained a 3.6 GPA and made ample memories. Entering into her sophomore year, Olivia began her position as a Resident Assistant for the Housing and Residence Life Department. She also worked as an Office Assistant for the Department. By becoming a Resident Assistant, Olivia was able to put her leadership skills into practice by helping students from all walks of life and interests to find their home at the Hall.
Olivia had always been interested in literature but was unsure how she could apply it to her academic career. Upon doing research and talking with various advisors, Olivia was able to expand her double major, Theatre and Political Science, into a triple major, adding English. Olivia is excited to pursue this third major. It will allow her to hone her writing skills and apply them to her other two courses of study. In doing so, Olivia hopes to take her degrees to graduate and then law school. Olivia is looking forward to continuing her studies at Seton Hall and learning all she can from the Buccino Leadership Institute.
