                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and 
accomplishments of Olivia Morales, my fellow who is transitioning from 
my office to continue her mission.
  A Florida native, Olivia came to my office ready to change the 
American educational system. While in my office, Olivia has pushed my 
education agenda to great lengths--from drafting legislation, to 
conducting research, to writing education policy pieces.
  In our time together, I have recognized that Olivia is a force in 
education policy. Her passion has been powerful over the last year as 
we have fought for the lives of underserved and disadvantaged 
communities. Her commitment to educational equality has led Olivia to 
complete her undergraduate degree in Public Policy at Duke University 
and spend a year working as a College Adviser with the Duke College 
Advising Corps. After her service with the Corps, she began her 
doctoral studies in the University of Florida's Higher Education 
Administration and Policy program. Her research uses critical 
quantitative methods to evaluate higher education policies and student 
outcomes. Olivia has and will continue to make a difference and leave 
her mark on education policy as she continues to fight for a better 
system.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Olivia Morales for her exemplary 
accomplishments, dedication to public service, and trailblazing 
leadership.
