Olivia Donovan

I’m a Biology major and UFTeach graduate with experience teaching and supporting science learning through hands-on labs, clear safety practices, and engaging lesson planning. I’ve built daily lesson plans integrating STEM initiatives and prepared students for the Florida Biology end of course exam.

In my recent role as a Biology Teacher, I managed, conducted, and safety-checked lab experiments while developing curriculum-aligned instruction. I also worked as a Biotechnology Course Curriculum Assistant, helping refine biotechnology course materials by researching industry standards and enhancing instructional content for accuracy and engagement.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve contributed to AI-driven adaptive multimedia for neurodiverse learners as a Research Intern and presented research at the AECT International Convention. I care deeply about mentorship and leadership, demonstrated through my work as Cofounder and Treasurer of Future STEM Educators of Florida and Peer Mentor roles where I guided students using STEM-based learning strategies.
