Olivia has taken the dance world by storm over the last decade. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA she began training and competing at the young age of 7 all over the country in Competitive Championship Latin Ballroom Dancing. By the age of 16 she had already won 5 National Gold Medals in the youth division. She also attended Dekalb School of the Arts where she studied Ballet, Modern, Jazz, African, Hip-Hop & Musical Theater. Shortly after graduating, Olivia decided to further pursue her dreams by training in New York City and then heading out to California for a new and exciting journey. 

With a determined spirit and relentless work ethic she soon found herself teaching and performing for the NFL as a San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush Cheerleader, Top 30 Finalist on So You Think You Can Dance (S8) and was featured in Esquire and "Just Dance" PS3 Commercial.

In 2012 her career transitioned from the competitive world to the commercial industry as she found herself dancing for artists such as: JLO, Madonna, Flo Rida, New Cupid, Sean Kingston, and Brad Paisley. Olivia has also been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Dr. Oz., 106 & Park, Yahoo, and Telemundo.

Throughout her challenging journey she continued to dance, teach, perform, write, conduct interviews, and graduate on time from MSU with a Major in:Communication & Media and Minor in:Musical Theater.
