Olivia Karas

Olivia was a gymnast for over 16 years. Her most rewarding time was when she represented the University of Michigan as a four-time All American and earned four Big Ten championships. She always wanted to be a part of a team and Michigan gave her just that. Currently, Olivia is an Associate Communications manager for Huge, a global, digital marketing firm. In addition, she has been a color commentator for the Big Ten network, written for gymnastic publications and participated in Beam Queen Bootcamps with some of her favorite fellow former gymnasts and friends. Olivia has learned to snow ski and loves it, especially as it was forbidden during her gymnastics career. She spent last summer reading feverously and has started making her own pickles. She recently adopted a five-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi who she has lovingly renamed “Toni Smith” after her amazing 92-year-old grandmother. They formed an instant bond and Toni Smith will be returning to New York City with Olivia soon.
