Before coming to Denver, Olivia was a reporter and anchor for KVAL/KMTR in Eugene, Oregon, where she covered stories including the devastating Holiday Farm Fire, the 2020 Olympic Trials, and the WOW hall mass shooting.

Olivia graduated from Chapman University, where she studied broadcast journalism and peace studies, and was an active member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. While at Chapman, Olivia produced and reported a Murrow award-winning investigative report with a Colorado connection.

In her free time, Olivia loves to explore Colorado's many mountain towns, try new restaurants, and travel. She studied abroad in Cannes, France for a semester and is fluent (ish) in French.
