Olivia started sailing at Columbia Yacht Club in 2001 when she was 7 years old. Olivia started off sailing in Prams until the great growth spurt of 2003 that bumped her up to the 420 group. She then quickly progressed to the 420 race team, traveling the country to race 420's. Olivia hopes to go to a college where she can continue to sail as well as fence.
