Social Work & Counseling

Hello DVOC Students and Parents, 

My name is Olivia Lopez and I am the campus Social Worker for the Del Valle Opportunity Center. I have worked for Del Valle ISD for 1 year and have loved getting to know the community. I was born and raised in Austin, TX and stayed local to the Central Texas area for college, obtaining my degrees at Texas State University in San Marcos. 

I have always had a passion for supporting individuals, especially youth. I believe that mental health access, building a strong community network, and advocacy for our students can make the difference in creating a positive school environment and preparing students for opportunities after graduation. 

I appreciate students and parents making time to speak or visit with me about any celebrations or concerns. 

Thank you for being a part of our OC family!
