Olivia currently resides in Calgary but grew up in northern Alberta where she’d spend her formative years asking the tooth fairy for books instead of money (she wishes this was still the case). An avid reader, Olivia enjoys learning everything and anything, and this is probably why she’s changed her degree three times. A current AU student majoring in psychology with a minor in philosophy, Olivia experiences an existential crisis at least once a semester and psychoanalyzes everyone she knows.
When she isn’t studying you can find her in the library, at the gym, or re-watching Schitt’s Creek for the umpteenth time. She enjoys cooking or baking new recipes, travelling, and spending time with her two border collies.
