Trina Olsen

Trina is passionate about public health, women's health, human rights, and affordability of higher education. In high school, Trina co-founded and led a club designed to educate her fellow students about sexual and reproductive health. She was also a Teen Educator, working with doctors and teens to bridge their communication gap. During her junior year of high school, she also enjoyed working with students in a special education math class. Her goals for her bridge year are to learn how to love and laugh during a challenging time, discover a new culture and learn Spanish. Trina is inspired by lyrics from "American Girl" by Tom Petty: "She couldn't help thinking' that there was a little more to life, somewhere else, after all it was a great big world with lots of places to run to".
