Olivia graduated from Alfred University in 2019. She decided to pursue an MBA in business administration with the hope of one day owning her own business with her brother. Organizing projects, events and meetings was her forte. A leader to her core, she recognized the importance of delegating tasks to teammates to accomplish a larger goal.
