Olyvia joined the West Salem Veterinary Clinic team in February 2025 and is supporting both the Admin team as a Client Service Representative and the Medical team as a Vet Tech Assistant. She grew up in Melrose, Wisconsin and earned her Associates Degree in Medical Administration and Health Office Professionalism from Western Technical College in La Crosse.

Olyvia has loved animals since she was a child. Whether she was volunteering at a local humane society or visiting a family farm, she could see at an early age the difference that quality care and compassion make in animal's life. 

Outside of the clinic, Olyvia loves spending time with her husband and Golden Retriever puppy, Murphy. Additionally, she enjoys hiking, crafting, baking and gardening.
