In this episode of the She Built It® Podcast, host Melanie Barr sits down with Alena Olsen, a remarkable athlete who has not only excelled in the world of rugby but has also become a powerful advocate for environmental sustainability. Since joining the USA Women’s Rugby 7s team in 2018, Alena has competed in over 20 World Series tournaments, 2 Pan-American Games, one World Cup, and helped her team earn a historic bronze medal at the Olympic Games.

From planting thousands of trees to launching a campus food waste sorting program and compiling signatures from hundreds of professional rugby players urging for sustainable strategies, Alena’s leadership extends far beyond the rugby field.
