OLIVIA
College Advisor & Essay Coach Coordinator
Olivia’s interest in college admissions began during her undergraduate years at Colorado College, where she interviewed prospective students for the Admission Office. She loved hearing their stories and witnessing the “aha moment” when they realized they’d found a college that aligned with their values and interests—just like she felt when she visited her alma mater for the first time.
This experience led Olivia into admissions at Regis University in Denver, where she worked with students from around the world while pursuing a master’s degree in Marketing with a focus on marketing for higher education. Following Regis, Olivia joined the admissions team at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts, further cultivating her admissions expertise with a particular emphasis on helping students find the right fit for their values and goals.
Olivia is an intentional, contemplative, and curious advisor. She believes the best college matches are made when a student’s college list and application materials sincerely reflect their personality, interests, and aspirations. Additionally, her background in creative writing makes Olivia a thoughtful and inventive partner in the essay process.
Outside of work, Olivia can be found on a mountain, at the curling rink, up to her elbows in flour, or keeping her hands busy with various arts and crafts projects.
