Olivia Kim is a high school senior. She’s been writing specifically fiction and poetry for years because it allows her to express and share her stories. Some of her hobbies include reading, hiking, and swimming. Her goals this year are to focus on finishing her draft of her first novel and explore the different ways she can advocate for the communities that she is a part of.
