Alongside her studies, she is currently working for Rutala Associates, a South Jersey-based planning firm, where she has worked on Master Plan Re-Examination Reports to guide development and planning priorities in multiple shore towns.

During her undergraduate degree, Olivia worked for multiple community non-profit organizations in Atlantic City, NJ, where she led an after-school tutoring program, ran a Naturalization class to prepare community members for their citizenship exams, and made ArcGIS StoryMaps to promote arts events & exhibitions across the city. Olivia received her B.S. in Sustainability, with a focus on policy, from Stockton University.
