And we all say, LET THERE BE......
A life where all times, the good, the bad, and the ugly, graciously turn themselves into beautiful gems & jewels of inspiration.
Olivia grew up in Columbia, Tennessee, a town best known for its annual Mule Day Parade and festivities, yes, the Jackass Capital of the World! Growing up, you could almost always find her at Discovery Gymnastics with her coach & teammates, and if she wasn't there, go check in the woods, she'll be digging into something, probably something she shouldn't... She was a competitive gymnast with her coach Norm McKenzie for 15 years before she jetted off to the amazing city of Austin where double majored with a BA in Theater and Dance and a BS in Radio-TV-Film at at the University of Texas.
While living in Austin, Olivia acted in numerous independent short and feature film projects while also jumping back for some behind-the-camera work as a director, make-up artist and writer. One of her favorite film projects was working on the independent feature, Z: A Zombie Musical, with many of the most talented and amazing people the great city of Austin had to offer, director/writer/actor John McLean, Amy Jordan, Hallie Martin, Tiffany Jensen and George Riley to name a few. After Z, the beautiful ladies mentioned above founded their own Burlesque/Risque Cabaret troupe, "The Jigglewatts Burlesque Revue," and began performing all over Texas receiving rave reviews. Olivia is not currently working with them troupe as she is now living in NYC working towards her MFA at The Actors Studio Drama School, "The Jigglewatts" are thriving and performing all over the world to thousands of adoring fans.
