Working with Olivia has been like discovering the perfect blend of sweet and smart. She’s not just easygoing and friendly but she’s also the kind of person who makes learning and doing research feel like a good time. What blows me away is how she handles lab problems or failed experiments – it's like she's got a solution playbook in her back pocket. Plus, she's always excited to dive into new stuff. She sends me these cool papers about all the interesting things happening in our field. It's so impressive how she's always on the lookout for fascinating ideas. I've also never felt awkward asking questions or admitting when I'm stuck. That’s all thanks to the comfortable and friendly environment she creates for her undergraduate students. Overall working with Olivia has not been like your typical mentorship; it's more like teaming up with a smart, easygoing friend who's just as eager to learn as you are. I can confidently say that working with her has been an absolute game-changer.
