Her biggest step forward was running for Secretary in the 2018 elections and winning to her surprise but then again no-one else ran. She then got more involved by attending Roses 2018 in Lancaster and meeting other stations.

She is so glad that she stuck with YSTV and had a great year as Secretary reading all the terrible spam emails and starting to produce more productions such as Sixty Seconds with STYCs. She also accidentally ended up producing an entire Halloween Livestream all because she wanted to do pumpkin carving.

YSTV has given her an amazing group of friends to make productions with and to spend time going on trips out such as YSTV goes camping. She was also the Training and Development Officer for Roses 2019 and has produced and director a lot more productions in her second year.

| [[Everything Sucks]]
| Writer and co-Director
| An idea that Olivia had been itching to make was made possible on this 48hr challenge, and with the help of [[Thomas Schubert]] at 2am the script was fully realised as a comedy following down-on-his-luck Derek.
