Hi there, I’m Olivia, a college student at Liberty University, where I’m pursuing my studies in Media Design and Visual Merchandising. As a proud Jersey girl, I’ve been fully immersed in the world of graphic arts and advertising my whole life, thanks to my family’s thriving large format printing company located right outside of Philadelphia.

After high school, I started working full-time at my family’s business while studying media design. Over the past three years, I’ve been responsible for preparing materials, operating large printing machinery, and expertly installing large printed materials on signage and vehicles.

My college experience has been invaluable because I chose a nontraditional route for my higher education. This has equipped me with the ability to consistently meet tight deadlines and deliver top-notch work while maintaining a balance between my education and work. Balancing my studies and working full-time has given me experience and knowledge that will make me a valuable team member in future work environments. My family’s business has provided me with skills I wouldn’t have acquired if I had gone away for college. Since starting college, I have learned to manage a business, work effectively with my co-workers, and handle stressful deadlines.
