Olivia L

(!!) semi-hiatus

Hello! 👋 I'm Olivia, but you can call me Liv. I am a South Korean teen who is currently attending high school in Ontario, Canada. Currently, I am on Schoolhouse to talk about real-world issues with peers through the Dialogues program, prep for my first SAT, and receive help for some school subjects I'm struggling with. I also tutor in English, pre-algebra, and various topics in Enrichment, but usually only during extended academic breaks (like in the summer!)

Here is some uninteresting info about me:

✏️📚 I like reading and writing (both hobby-wise and academically). In 2025, I read over 100 novels and 300 manga/graphic novels. I've won local and school-affiliated awards for academic excellence in writing. I'm also a mod for a book-related subreddit with over 1.3 million members and make book content on social media, where I have gained a total following of nearly 10k across my platforms over the span of 6 years. Furthermore, I am the founder and president of my school's book club with nearly 30 members, where we host book-related events like book fairs, talk about books, and bring in published authors to interview. I do some volunteering at my local libraries as well.

🧠 I'm really interested in neuroscience and psychology. I have an accredited certificate for my local university's college-level introductory course in neurology and am a graduate of the Women's Alliance in STEM and Humanities (WASH SRI)'s 2025 summer program for computational neuroscience. Currently, I am self-studying for AP Psychology as well as prepping for the 2026 International Psychology Olympiad. Additionally, I am a member of my school board's mental health council and my school's Neuroscience club.

🏫 At school, my GPA is around 3.8 (self-calculated & unweighted), and I'm a member of the student council as head of digital media and publicity team co-lead.

🤩 Besides reading and writing, some of my hobbies include art (both digital & trad) and watching anime (I'm obsessed with a new character every week... you can usually tell who by my profile picture hehe).
