Olivia Du is a committed global citizen with a background in health policy and a passion for equity, justice, and reconciliation. Arriving in Canada at 15 as an unaccompanied youth, she found purpose through community initiatives, supporting BIPOC students and fostering diversity-safe spaces. As the Communication Lead for UBC's Innovations in Dementia Care and a sustainability ambassador, she has raised awareness about patient-centered care and addressed the lack of Indigenous voices in decision-making. Olivia believes in the power of unity and collective action to drive positive change, particularly in climate education and healthcare. Her work is guided by a commitment to empower communities with the tools and knowledge needed to build resilience and foster a more inclusive and sustainable future.”
