Olivia

My name is Olivia and I met Miranda in 2016 when we were freshmen in college.

She was new to our department and she and I became really quick friends.

We had a really special connection.

We were friends all through college and have been friends for almost 10 years today.

Whenever I first met Miranda, she was so intimidating because she's stunning and she's so smart.

I very quickly learned that she really does bring out the best in everybody that she's around.

And that's a quality that she has to this day.

19-year-old Miranda was a lot of fun.

We just had so many adventures bebopping around our little college town.

We were always getting in mischief together.

And it's very much still that way today.

We always love doing pranks together.

She just really makes everybody feel comfortable.

She's silly.

She's always down for a laugh, but she's also sensitive.

She's so in tune with her emotions, everybody else's emotions, and she's just ready to encourage everybody that she comes across.

I decided to study theater because it's what I had always done.

I was nine the first time I was in a professional production.

It was just kind of a natural next step for me to study it in school.

And I got a talent scholarship from Cato.
