Olivia has lived all across the United States, from Laguna Beach to the LowCountry, but Park City has always felt like home. After attending The College of Charleston and living in South Carolina for nearly 8 years, she decided to return to Utah. She missed Park City and its perfect blend of comfort and culture. Olivia’s experience working with luxury corporations began at just 17 years old, and has always been a perfect fit for her. Creativity and attention to detail are the core values that drive Olivia to strive for service excellence.
At home, Olivia enjoys painting (both watercolor and acrylic), watching bad Rom-Coms, and spending time with her overzealous Yorkie, Winston. She hopes to one day look back on a life well lived, both personally and professionally.
