Olivia Russo is a junior in the IB program at Coral Gables Senior High. This is her third year in Cavs Connect. She is a video editor along with her partner Mateo Blaschke. She is happy to be a part of something and able to share her hobby of video-making with her staff. Throughout her third year at Coral Gables Senior High, she is excited to be in a high position of her publication and also ecstatic by being co-president of her club The Garden Project. Some of her favorite things to do at Gables are going to games, playing with her friends on the girls soccer team, going to pep rallies and being able to be as involved with her school as possible. Olivia is happy to join the Gables Garden Project this year because, just like her co-president Paz Chico, she cares deeply about her planet. Olivia’s favorite sport is soccer which is why this will be her third year on the girls team. She’s looking to join more clubs and find others with the same interests as her that can really make her next two years enjoyable. This year, she starts the IB Program and she is looking forward to all the hard work and dedication she will have to show through that. In her free time, she mostly likes to spend time with her friends and go to the beach. She also loves to travel which has been a big part of her life ever since she was born. One of her favorite countries is Spain because she has a house there in a village where she can spend time with the people who’ve known her the longest. Olivia is a very competitive person and does not like to give up when given a challenging project. She is looking forward to doing really successful things in life and believes that Gables will ensure that.
