Hi there. My name’s Olivia. I am a multimedia storyteller encompassing science, society and all the unseen ways they connect. I have covered climate change imagery in films, AI protections advocacy by SAG-AFTRA, and visualizing invisible cosmic weather.
As a former researcher for the NASA Artemis Missions, I want to continue writing for gender inclusivity to expand our understandings of natural phenomena, and so, ourselves. I am especially interested in fieldwork and my reporting work ranges from a National Science Foundation marine expedition turned podcast series to street interviews in Japan where a famed childhood film director made a comeback.
My work has appeared in Life, Nature, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has won national awards for presentation coverage. I was selected a 2021 Goldwater Research Fellow to train alongside high-producing publication authors.
My track record shows taking stories to the next level of production. I have served as a Music and Art Director on a Jordan Peele-based game, a Data Designer to create the first interactive library of astronaut demographics, and a producer for the first USC studio dedicated to mixed reality projects.
Whether through topic deep-dives or creative production know-how, I am interested in investigating complex matters to show solid narratives that prove fundamental to all of us.
“Olivia’s ability to effectively communicate with her team, provide insight, direction, and work through complex situations is commendable. She is both a strong independent researcher and an admired team player. ”
