Olivia is a talented athlete (running, tennis and Tae Kwon Do) and responsible student who maintains her commitment to her Tae Kwon Do practice, creating discipline and excellence in her busy life . We appreciate Olivia’s helpful attitude and her inclination to make new friends and be inclusive of everyone – a great contribution to our community at Asheville Sun Soo. She additionally contributes by frequently volunteering at Kid’s Night Out and participating in the teen service projects.
