StMU Research Scholars

Featuring Scholarly Research, Writing, and Media at St. Mary’s University

Olivia Villalba

I was born and raised in Long Beach, California. I plan on graduating from St. Mary’s University Spring of 2026 with a degree in Biology. With this degree, I wish to continue my education in the Medical field and become an Oral Surgeon.

While attending St. Mary’s, I am currently on the Women’s Soccer Team. Being a part of this community has taught me leadership and communications skills with those around me. I am also a part of the Pre-Dental Society where we learn the ins and outs of Dental School. The leaders of the club offer great support and tips when it comes to applying to Dental School in the future.
