Leadership
Olivia Boudwin
Camp Director
Olivia Boudwin has been working with Camp Twitch and Shout (CTAS) since 2017 as a Counselor, Cabin Leader, Unit Leader, and now Camp Director. She found out about camp when she was a student at Appalachian State University through Megan Kasper, one of Camp Twitch and Shout’s previous Camp Directors. With very limited knowledge about Tourette Syndrome, she “made an impulsive decision to apply to camp” her first year in college and fell in love with the tight knit community. Camp inspired her so much that she applied to work for Camp Twin Lakes for two full summers. She felt permanently changed for the better by camp and is grateful for the chance to give back to the loving community each summer.
Olivia has a degree from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina for Child Development: Birth-Kindergarten education and works in Boone at Bethel Elementary’s NC Pre-K and Developmental Day Classroom.
Outside of camp, Olivia loves to read, be in the sun, and spend time at home with her two cats and husband, Ben Brown.
Kelsey Hollis
Assistant Director
Kelsey Hollis has been working with Camp Twitch and Shout since 2014 and has volunteered as a counselor, cabin liaison, color captain, and now assistant director throughout that time. Her favorite camp activities are boating and horseback riding (because secretly she’s a horse girl and always has been). Camp is one of the most important parts of her life, and has had a huge impact on Kelsey’s life: she decided to pursue a career in education because of camp, and the CTAS community is one of the main reasons she is comfortable advocating for herself and others with Tourette Syndrome outside of the camp world.
Kelsey has a B.A. in Secondary Education and English Literature from Berry College, as well as an M.Ed in Literacy from Clemson University. She enjoys being an advocate for her students, especially those with learning differences or difficulties, and making English class as fun as it can be for her students.
Outside of camp, Kelsey lives in Nashville, TN, and is a high school English teacher and lover of books, getting her nails done, and her dog Teddy and cat Bonney.
Seanna Johnson
Assistant Director
Seanna has been volunteering with CTAS since 2018, serving in the counselor and color captain roles prior to this year. Becoming a part of the camp community has been life changing and renewing for Seanna because of the incredible people she has met. Her favorite part of camp is seeing the kids grow and make new friends. She continues to always come back because Camp Twitch and Shout feels like coming home.
Seanna has a degree in Biochemistry with minors in Spanish and Psychology. She is currently working at The Ohio State University as a Clinical Research Coordinator in Cognitive Neurology where she works on dementia clinical trials.
For fun, Seanna is a yoga instructor and loves to be outside. She enjoys fun with her cat, Goza, hedgehog, Miss Violet, and her partner, Brandon.
