Hi! My name is Olivia Mejia and I am a senior at Sage Creek High School, in San Diego, California. I describe myself as creative, optimistic, and a strong leader. Some things I am very passionate about are school, volunteering, dancing, singing, and acting. I started acting at the age of six, when I was a munchkin in my community theater's production of "The Wizard of Oz." Ever since then, I have been performing in several community theater and school plays. My favorite roles I have played, so far, have been Ariel in The Little Mermaid and Edwina in Dear Edwina.
I found my passion for dance at the age of ten, when I was on a competitive hip-hop team. I have training in several dance styles including: hip-hop, contemporary, musical theater, jazz, lyrical, ballet, and tap. Currently, I am an inaugural member and dance captain of the Sage Creek High School Dance Company. I enjoy choreographing dances for basketball game halftimes, pep rallies, and other school events, as well as teaching the dance elective classes at school. I value school and community involvement. Therefore, I am a member of several clubs at Sage Creek; National Honor Society, California Scholarship Federation, and Drama Club. I am also a part of a mother-daughter program, National Charity League, which provides volunteer opportunities for my mother and I in the community. I have volunteered about 200 hours to date. Leadership is also important to me as I have graduated from the inaugural class of the Carlsbad Student Leadership Academy and from the Carlsbad Education Foundation Student Council. Another enriching program I was honored to be a part of was the Distinguished Young Women of San Diego County, Class of 2018. Over the past two summers, I have been a paid intern at Jazzercise, in both the merchandising and marketing departments. I have learned a lot from these internships and am now planning to major in marketing, with a minor in dance, after high school. I hope to continue to pursue performing arts as well. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and getting to know more about me, I appreciate it! XOXO, Olivia |
