Hey I'm Olivia,
A multimedia journalist, filmmaker, and storyteller. In other words, I love working on a bit of everything!
Water hyacinth's an invasive plant known as the blue devil is overtaking Ethiopia's largest lake. This film takes you to the frontline of this environmental catastrophe and how the community was mobilized in attempts to stop this plant, save their lake and their livelihoods.
I worked with the UC Berkeley Human Rights Center for two years, working as a lab manager in their Human Rights Investigations Lab, on a project called Documenting Hate with ProPublica, and some other confidential work.
I helped write a book and revamp the Students on Ice website (among many other things). Including pages about the scientific and advocacy work that happens during expeditions, and putting together numerous alumni profiles.
I'll be updating it with more work very soon. If you want to collaborate, hit me up!
