Research Statement
In 2020, Dr. Olivier earned her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences from the University of Utah, for which her dissertation research investigated Motor Learning in aging and neurologically-involved populations. Her current research endeavors focus on measuring patient outcomes, as well as high-intensity exercise in people with neurologic conditions.
