Olivia, the chef

Olivia is 28 years old. She claims to be 5'11" because she refuses to admit that she's actually 6'1". She was a former Division I volleyball player, but found a greater passion for cooking and baking, and now works as a personal chef for a local semi-celebrity and their family.

Olivia is mixed race (Black and Indian), and her curly black hair runs just past her shoulders. She prefers to leave her hair loose, though will tie it back while cooking at work. At home, on the other hand, never. She often wears white ("I love the challenge of trying to not splatter food on myself!") ... even though she also often fails at her own self-imposed challenge.

She is an avid reader, and can often be found in the first floor social space curled up in front of the fire with a book. Her favorite genre is historical fiction, and she's especially fixated on alternate reality stories about French royalty.

As a professional chef, she's the most equipped to provide meals for her housemates -- and when she's available for it, she's always in the mood to cook up a big meal. Her favorite dishes to prepare are seafood paella, lamb biryani, barbecue ribs, and baking and decorating cupcakes.
