About Me

My name is Collin Olsen. I graduated from Cottonwood High School in Murray, Utah on June 6, 2013. My three best qualities are determination, dependability, and thoughtfulness. I currently attend Weber State University, where I plan to get my A.A. in French.  After I receive my associate's, I will be attending Utah State University to get a B.A. in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education and a minor in French. After I obtain my bachelor’s degree, I plan on going to graduate school to either become a speech pathologist or an audiologist. 

I like to attend concerts, watch movies, travel, and hang out with friends. My special skills include:  excellent listening and communication skills, a broad knowledge of history and cultures, and experience in processing and doing oral interviews. I have lived in Utah my whole life, but I have had the opportunity to explore Florida, Washington D.C., and the western part of the United States. 

One of my favorite memories is when I got the chance to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I am a giant Harry Potter fan, so seeing the stories recreated, in person, was a great experience. At the park, I got to eat at The Three Broomsticks, inspect the shops of Hogsmeade, ride three attractions, and enjoy the incredible landscape. Best of all, I got to try Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice. 

My family and friends are the people that are the most important to me in my life. They are always there for support and are fun to be around. I want to be my own person in my life, but it would be great to have the longevity, happiness, and skills of Betty White, Dr. Patch Adams, Ina Garten, John Bongiovi (Jr.), and Mary Orwin. In 2020, I want to be finished with my schooling and to have at least visited one other country.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”

"You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give."
E. O. Wilson
