Olivia and her mother had a lot of discussions re the traditions and expectations attached to a quinceañera. Celebrating their cultural heritage is important to Olivia's family who hales from all over the world. Olivia's mother is half Mexican and half Peruvian and her father is French. This family seamlessly blends multiple languages throughout their exchanges with one another.

Olivia has grown up embracing her Latin American and French heritage equally. She spends her summers in France with family and even works while she summers there. She's spent most of her childhood celebrating her Latin American heritage through folkloric dance training and performances.

Olivia is a strong student who excels in the maths and sciences. She has also joined ROTC with the hopes that this is the first step towards becoming a pilot. She'd be tagging into her family history in doing so, as her great grandfather was a pilot in World War II and the French Algerian War.

In preparing for her portrait time, Olivia's cousin gave her a custom manicure with "15" on her nails to mark her quinceañera. Her nails looked fabulous, even though they did mean a few demerits for having the forbidden long nails for her ROTC time.
