Olivia

     Born in the southeastern suburbs of Michigan, Olivia spent her childhood in sparkly dance costumes and recruiting (read as begging) her sisters to be actors or models for her own creative endeavors. Olivia decided there was nothing more she wanted to do in the world than tell stories. So, in the not too big and not too small town of Rochester, Michigan, Olivia pursued her BFA in Acting at Oakland University under the tutelage of professors whom she had seen in performances at local professional theaters in her youth. While some may see staying where you grew up as a ‘failure to launch’, Olivia found that community is something she longs for, and the Michigan theatre scene provided just that. The people she has worked with are smart, caring, and highly curious about stories they have not heard of before. These are traits that Olivia now wishes to share with the world. Whether it be as an actress, director, or an artistic collaborator - theatre or film - Olivia longs to create art that speaks to a new generation of storytellers; to inspire young people like herself to make their voices heard.
