Olivia is our new Regional Entomologist and ESA board-certified entomology intern (BCE intern). She was first exposed to pest control working as an undergraduate in a professor’s lab where she worked on termite distribution in Georgia as well as termite management on historical properties. After graduating from the University of Georgia in 2022 with a major in entomology, a minor in plant pathogens, and a certificate in plant health management, she then went on to get her master’s degree from the University of Kentucky in 2025. There she was able to work with and get experience with different cockroaches, bed bugs, brown recluses, and started to do a lot of speaking/teaching. She’s excited to be working at OPC and getting the chance to help our technicians and salespeople be the best they can be.
