Olivia was born and raised in the small town of Yreka, CA, in the mountains of far-Northern California & Southern Oregon, locally known as the State of Jefferson. She grew up backpacking with her family, riding horses, white water rafting, playing volleyball, and performing in local musical theater. Olivia studied at Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR and graduated with a BA in Music with an emphasis in Vocal Performance. Following a move to Boston with her husband shortly after graduation, she transferred her skills as a production manager/show director to the biotech industry and worked in facilities, laboratory, and office management for several years while also teaching private voice lessons and coaching High School volleyball. After 4 years in Boston, Olivia & husband decided to move back to Oregon to be closer to the great outdoors and family again. She is excited to get back to her Pacific North West roots after a stint in the big city, and to meld the corporate organizational & project management skills she gained there with a wilderness-based company. Olivia enjoys spending time with her husband & 3 dogs, gardening, raising chickens, hiking, swimming, playing volleyball, road biking, and singing.
