Olivia was born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia and is a proud Charlottesville High School Alumni. Before moving back to Charlottesville, she worked in the arts sector in Chicago doing everything from fundraising at large organizations to teaching on the south and west sides of Chicago. Never stop, every day is a true gift. With an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a B.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University, Olivia still maintains that the best lessons can only be learned by doing.
