Olivia Miller Program Director
Olivia grew up in the heart of the Monongahela National Forest in Hendricks, West Virginia, where she developed a deep appreciation for and connection to nature. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Journalism with a minor in women’s and gender studies from West Virginia University. Olivia’s journey as an activist began on WVU’s campus where she organized groups to campaign for environmental justice and reproductive rights. Her motivation is deeply rooted in the desire to share how the health and welfare of nature are interconnected with our own and to work for a healthy and livable future for all in the Mountain State.
