Jesus Christ is the center of Olivia's life, and she works hard to make serving Him the purpose behind everything she does.
In service to Him, she has become a published multi-genre creative writer, editor, and political and higher education journalist.
When she's not focusing on her career, Olivia likes to play with her pets, spend time with friends and family, experiment with visual art forms, and go on long walks in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
