Olivia began exhibiting dogs at the tender age of six, starting her journey with Whitewarrior Alaskan Malamutes. From an early age she developed a deep passion for the sport, quickly demonstrating natural skill and dedication in the show ring. During her early years handling the Whitewarrior Alaskan Malamutes, Olivia achieved Best in Group awards and went on to win In Show awards, marking the beginning of an impressive young handling career.
As her experience grew, Olivia expanded her handling to a wide variety of breeds, confidently presenting dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes across multiple rings and competitions.
In 2022, Olivia competed in her first State Final, where she placed Third in the 7–10 Years Age Group. That same year she also achieved 1st place in her heat at the Winter International in South Australia and 1st place in her heat at the Melbourne Royal, marking a significant milestone in her junior handling journey.
In 2024, Olivia progressed into the 10–13 Years Age Group, where she earned an Honourable Mention in the State Final, placed 2nd in her heat at the Winter International SA, and once again won her heat at the Melbourne Royal.
Her success continued in 2025, where Olivia again received an Honourable Mention in the State Final (10–13) and won her heat at the Winter International SA, going on to be awarded Runner-Up Champion Overall Handler (SA) while exhibiting a Jack Russell Terrier. That same year she celebrated a remarkable milestone, winning her Melbourne Royal heat for the fourth consecutive year.
Despite her growing list of achievements, Olivia remains humble and dedicated to continually improving her skills. She believes that hard work, passion, and perseverance are the keys to achieving her dreams within the dog world, and she approaches every opportunity in the ring with enthusiasm and gratitude.
