Previously living by the coast in Mumbles (Wales), Olivia feels at peace by the ocean. While the coastline in Wales is, in her opinion, one of the most beautiful, she wanted to find a warmer climate to pursue a more permanent spot on the ocean. While completing a degree in English at Cardiff University, she would enjoy hosting dinner parties for her friends and family, exploring different cuisines and presentation techniques. After her studies, Olivia traded in the textbooks for an apron and took to Croatia to work as a chef on an array of yachts, realizing she couldn’t see herself doing anything else. 

Olivia often draws on knowledge from her experiences travelling to create delicious meals for her guests. Likewise, to further her excitement and knowledge around cooking with local ingredients, Olivia has signed up for the well-known Yacht Chef course in Ashburton Cookery School, which she will have completed just prior to joining Blue. Olivia loves sharing her keenness for the outdoors with others, engaging in activities such as kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. Moreover, she loves nothing more than bringing people together and impressing them with both the taste and presentation of her meals.
