Olivia is excited to be choreographing for DanceWorks Boston for her fifth season. She is an assistant professor in MIT's Department of Biology where she leads a research laboratory studying genetics of human disease. Olivia earned her bachelors in biochemistry at Marquette University where she co-founded Pure Dance Marquette. During graduate school, Olivia combined her two favorite things by participating in ‘Dance your PhD’ a competition to express your PhD research in dance form.
