She was born and raised in St-Sauveur, Québec. She started her career at the age of three, joining the Constance Brown Agency. As a child, Olivia appeared in several commercials and runway shows. Growing older, she pursued her interest and always took part in theatre at school.

She then studied theatre at John Abbott College, where she was introduced to Stanislavski. A few months later, she left for New York city and studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute where her passion for acting flourished.

She then attended Concordia University to study Communications and specialized in Video Production, where she discovered post-production and cinematography. Her passion in filmmaking continues to grow every year. She recently produced 'Stephanie's Room' for the 48 Hour Film Project. She won best actress and the film won people's choice award and best film in Toronto. It is moving on to a few other festivals in 2016.

After University, Olivia took off to India to retrace her late mother's steps, who spent five years as a hippy exploring the country. Her inspiration for the trip emerged while she was working on the documentary "Looking for Bayard". This sentimental project depicts her mother's wild past. A brief snippet can be viewed in the Video section.

Upon her return, she moved to Toronto to pursue acting, taking advantage of the city's opportunities and studying the Meisner technique with John Riven, as well as participating in workshops and working in scene study classes. She is now located in Vancouver and often makes the trip to Los Angeles to train with her favourite teachers.

Unique traits: I perfectly bilingual in French and in English. I'm very athletic, I play ice hockey, volleyball, soccer, martial arts, boxing, yoga, track and field, running, hiking and many more.
