Olivia Bystrom, Broadcast Editor-in-Chief

My name is Olivia Joleena Bystrom and I'm a senior Broadcast Editor-in-Chief this year. Outside of the Pony Express, I participate in theatre and the Stillwater Concert Choir. When I'm not performing, I like to do digital art, hit up the thrift stores with my friends, and go snowboarding. In the future, I plan on pursuing a career in psychology or journalism and living abroad in New Zealand.
