Hey, I’m Olive.

I am an AI enthusiast, innovator, business strategist and biotechnologist.

“In the future of work, your co-worker might be a bot. Lead anyway.”
— Me

Welcome to my thoughts

This is where raw ideas meet reflection, a quiet space I’ve carved out to explore the intersections of science, innovation, culture, and everything in between.

Here, I reflect on everything from biotechnology and brain health to entrepreneurship and cross-cultural leadership. Some pieces will feel like lectures, others like conversations, but all will be honest.

So, take what speaks to you. Leave what doesn’t.

This is a growing archive of lessons, experiments, and, sometimes, contradictions.

In the future of work, your co-worker might be a bot. Lead anyway.

I didn’t pay them to say this….

“Olive is one of those rare people who can bridge deep scientific knowledge with practical business insight. During our time working on AI tech solutions, I was consistently impressed by her clarity, calm leadership, and genuine curiosity. She’s a force in any room, not because she’s loud, but because she’s thoughtful and intentional.”

— Stanford, Chief Accountant Budgets, and Management Information system-Southern Africa

“Working with Olive is like collaborating with a human Swiss Army knife. From data analysis to strategic insight and cross-cultural communication, she brings precision and empathy to everything she touches. Her work ethic and ability to synthesize complex ideas into actionable solutions made her an essential voice in our innovation team.”

—Beth, Business Development Analyst, George Washington
