• I have a Masters degree in Social Work with an emphasis in Community Development and Administration.

• When I grow up I want to help lead the effort to build up the Wabash neighborhood into a sparkling gem of Eureka.  I also want to travel extensively,
• Best advice for living a happy, healthy life:  Never stop learning! Deliberately make time for learning and be very intentional about what you seek to learn.
• Pets:  One giant puppy and one plump office-cat-turned-house-cat, who get along like siblings.

 

• I enjoy kayaking and hiking in our beautiful redwoods. 
• If you could vacation anywhere, where would it be?  Anywhere with warm sun and sandy beaches.
• Best advice for living a happy, healthy life: Take care of yourself mind, body and spirit.  Lift up those around you and rise together to meet life's challenges.
• Favorite music? All music - the two greatest treasures in life are love and music!

Olivia loves working at Express Employment Professionals as our Payroll and Accounts Receivable Specialist.

• When I grow up I would like to sell my own hand-made jewelry, paintings, greetings cards, ornamental book marks, etc.!
• If I could vacation anywhere, it would be Alaska. 
• I enjoy singing, martial arts, cooking, gardening, dance, and a good k-drama.
• If there was a sound that represented peace, I would vote for the purr.
