We are pleased to introduce Olivia Fraioli, Digital Content Specialist, to the Think College team! Olivia will be working with the Knowledge Translation and Dissemination team, designing strategic social media campaigns and dynamic web content to engage our audience and raise awareness about college options for students with intellectual disability.
Originally from New Jersey, Olivia moved to Portland, Maine after utilizing ThinkCollege.net to seek out employment in a postsecondary education program for students with intellectual disability upon graduating college. Intending to only stay in Maine for one year, Olivia spent seven years working at STRIVE and STRIVE U, independent living-focused postsecondary educational opportunities for students with intellectual disability, and has lived there ever since. After nearly three years at the National Down Syndrome Society, Olivia is excited to join the Think College team to advance the critical work and resources it provides to the inclusive postsecondary education field. Olivia loves traveling, summers in Maine, and participating in her role as a board member of Best Buddies Maine. She is also a proud first-time aunt to her two-month old nephew named Heath.
