Hi everyone I’m Olivia and I am a three year staffer and two year editor! I love to write and I have found so many great passions through this staff and I have made some amazing friends. I am not only on our Mirror staff but I am also on our Reflector yearbook staff. I am a busy gal but I have so much on staff and I love sharing my passion with our readers. I plan on attending a university after high school to pursue a degree in either architecture or engineering. I am having the time of my life on this staff and hope you enjoy your time on our site!
