Born and raised in Sydney, Olivia grew up in a lively Greek and Italian household, where projecting her voice was less a skill and more a necessity.  

After years of starring in her older sister’s homemade films, Olivia decided to begin acting classes in 2016. She attended Newtown High School of the Performing Arts from 2020 to 2025. During this time, she travelled to the United Kingdom to participate in workshops with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Complicité and Frantic Assembly. 

Through her training at NIDA, Olivia has gained experience working on professional film and stage productions, strengthening her belief in performance as a powerful means of connection and exploring new perspectives.
