Hi I'm Olivia. My love for swimming originates from my love for the water. Growing up in Chicago I always felt a freedom and expansion upon looking out onto Lake Michigan, one of my favorite summertime spots. I believe my love for flow and fluidity aided my many successes in my swimming career and I carry this energy the best I can in my every day life. I adore doing things that bring me peace, influence my health and well being, and nurture a standard of beauty I tailor my life to. When I'm not training and competing, I enjoy yoga, cooking, a good cup of coffee, listening to a podcast, admiring nature, making YouTube videos and playing dress up. I earned a Bachelors degree in Psychology at the University of Georgia and I still love to learn about topics of development and how growth and change inspire success as it mirrors my life. In my opinion, when you devote your life to looking inward and getting to know yourself, you will find gold. I'm grateful sport has led me on this path.
