About Olivia

I almost didn't apply to business school. But now, as a second-year at Kellogg, I'm so grateful for the experiences I've had: interning at a VC firm and a startup, working with the CEO of a Chicago-based tea company, teaching yoga, learning that I'm not bad at finance, traveling to 7+ countries, and meeting classmates from all around the world. So whether you're trying to decide if business school is right for you or if you're ready to take the next step, I'll be your calm and candid coach who helps you tell your story. Pre-Kellogg, I spent six years as a strategic communications consultant at the Brunswick Group in New York, where I supported some of the world's biggest companies and nonprofits as they navigated crises and change. Last summer, I tried something completely different as a Sr. Program Manager Intern at Amazon in Seattle. I don't believe in putting people in a box, but I do believe that some skills - listening, writing, and communicating - will get you far. I studied English at Yale, where I spent a lot of time reading Russian novels, writing for various publications, and entering cooking contests. My first job (and a great one at that) was a summer internship at my local newspaper in Birmingham, AL.
