A Little About Olivia…

Best at: Team building. I like bringing groups of people together. You don’t know what’s going to happen when all the different energies collide–I go with the flow of where the people are and try creative ways to unite them.

Worst at: Being surprised. I do not like surprises. I like signing up for the unknown–I prefer to have the choice. 

Passionate about: Astrology. It’s possible that I lived amongst the stars in a past life. I believe there is a depth of understanding about yourself that can come from understanding the stars. 

What’s your “why”? I genuinely believe that a service year is really important in the grand scheme of one’s life. It’s just a few years out of your life. I think it's helpful and beneficial to learn about yourself. It helps you see life from other people’s perspectives. I signed up for the experience. A year of service builds resilience. 

Favorite Hallmark: We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person.
