Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland

Olivia Lymburner had originally planned to pursue a healthcare career, even completing a certificate in pre-health sciences at Mohawk College in 2019.

However, her “heart was in the environmental field” and in 2020, she began the marine environmental technology diploma at the Marine Institute.

Her love of the environment and concern for global climate issues inspired her to pursue the environmental field as a career.

“Climate change is a prominent issue that we are facing, and I really wanted to be a part of that puzzle,”

“I want to be a part of tackling those issues and creating different ways to manage and mitigate what we can.”
