                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 26, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and 
accomplishments of Olivia Morales, my fellow who has fought to protect 
and improve our education system.
  A Florida native, Olivia came to my office ready to protect and 
nurture the minds of all from kindergarten to post-Grad. Within 
Olivia's first few weeks in my office, her passion and intellect shined 
through. She immediately got to work developing ideas to help students 
in dual-enrollment programs, drafting legislation in various areas of 
education, and assisting in the introduction of the LOAN and American 
Teacher Acts.
  Her dedication has been powerful as we have fought for the minds of 
underserved and disadvantaged communities. Oliva's commitment to 
educational equity led her 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.
  Olivia has a promising future--she 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 dedication to 
education and passion for a more equitable Nation.
