 Hello! my name is Olivia Gardner and I live in Juneau Alaska. I live with my parents, sister and our many pets. This is my first year of college and I am enjoying it so far. I plan to major in biology or health sciences to earn a degree in physical therapy. Some of my hobbies include playing the violin, figure skating, and sewing garments.  I have played the violin for about 10 years and I absolutely love it.
