Olivia Wells is currently a 4th year medical student at Monash University, Former Miss Universe Australia (2013) and current mentor for the Miss Universe Australia program
Clinical brain tumour research at the Royal Children's Hospital. She is also an Ambassador for The Robert Connor Dawes Foundation, The OTIS Foundation and board member for Blue Ribbon Foundation Blue Ribbon Day
With such a busy schedule and her time being very precious to her I would just like to thank Olivia for taking the time to talk on our show this week. On this episode we speak with Olivia and discus her journey from starting out as a young up and coming swimmer to winning the Miss Universe competition and now completing her medical degree.
Olivia is a fascinating women and someone that I have had the pleasure to have known for many years and watch grow into the passionate and inspiring women she is today. From her early days as a high level age group swimmer, she has learnt that hard work can help you achieve what you set out to do and this philosophy now see's her in her final year of medical school and looking to work in the field of paediatric brain tumour research.
This all took a slight left turn when in her final year of school, as a joke, she filled out the form to enter the Miss Universe Australia pageant. To her surprise she was selected to move onto the qualifying rounds and would see her go on to win the entire event. She has used this time in the spotlight to further her ambitions to help underprivileged children in developing countries who suffer from disabilities that would otherwise be easy fixes if they had been born in the developed world.
It is a fascinating talk and I thoroughly enjoyed my time talking with Olivia and would like to thank her for her time and for sitting down with me to discuss her life to date.
If you enjoyed this show and found it helpful it would mean the world to me if you could share it with your friends on social media.

Lastly if you could leave a rating that would be great even if you leave a 1.... But a 5 would be even better :-)
