Meet Ms. Olivia 

Hello! My name is Olivia and I am the VPK Teacher at the Gainesville Empowerment Zone Family Learning Center. I was born and raised in Jupiter, Florida, and relocated to Gainesville in 2025 with the goal of pursuing my degree in Speech Pathology. I have always had a strong passion for communication, child development, and helping young learners find their voices, which inspired me to further my education in this field.

In May 2025, I proudly earned my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and wish to continue my education and expanding my knowledge in childcare and early childhood development. I believe that every moment—whether during play, learning activities, or simple conversations—is an opportunity to support growth, build confidence, and encourage independence.
