“I first met Olivia through Mikhail in 2019. We’ve been working together for a little over 2 years. In that time it’s been an honor to watch Olivia grow into her senior leadership role. Working with artists was new to her and she has taken to it. Our Fairgrounds’ artists love working with her and she is a great supporter, collaborator and cheerleader for them and our team as a whole.
