Olivia is a kayak instructor and raft guide originally from Brandon, Vermont. She previously worked for Zoar Outdoor, in Charlemont, MA for five years before migrating to Idaho for this season. This will be her first season working with Cascade, and she is very excited! She graduated from UVM with a degree in Zoology in 2022, which fuels her non-whitewater passions. In her freetime, you can find her collecting critters, tending houseplants, getting lost in a good book, crocheting a new blanket, frolicking in the woods, and making food for her friends. Olivia is excited to meet new folks, while sharing the joy of whitewater with friendly faces. Whether she is pointing out the flora and fauna, or dialing in paddle strokes, she is simply happy to be outside!
