As well as being a performer, Olivia loves to travel.  Her languages include English (mothertongue), French (B2 Advanced), Italian (B1 Advanced) and German (B1). She has lived in all of the above countries, as well as having had experience travelling and working in the Middle East (Jordan, Israel and Egypt), North America, the Far East (Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Bali) and across Europe.

 

Olivia has recently established a hospitality business with her French partner, Gabriel.  Together, they curate wine tasting events with multi-sensory and musical elements, seeking to empower others to enjoy and understand wines without reading a label and discover more about wines and the art of viniculture.

​

She is also an enthusiastic educator and receiver of a Rank Foundation Leadership Scholarship for her 'outstanding leadership potential'.  She is an ESL teacher (TQUK Level 5 TEFL certification; Grade A), with experience teaching at My English School, Parma; the number 1 rated MyES school in Italy.

 

She has worked with a wide range of students (from 6-70 year olds) in a variety of contexts and subjects, including in-person and online teaching, tutoring and exam preparation, as well as specialising in British pronunciation for singers and students. In 2019, she was the English Senior Mentor at Cambridge Programmes Summer School, supervising over 50 students primarily from Hong Kong, China and Australia. She has also been a sub-team leader as part of the UK National Citizens Service programme and worked for 5 years as an Outdoor Summer Camp Group Leader. 

 

She also enjoys musical outreach and has participated in courses including:

• The Kodály Approach
