Olivia Marty – Professional Intern

Olivia is a Professional Intern at Firmani + Associates, where she is excited to bring her passion for clear and purposeful communications into practice every day.  

She is a recent graduate with honors from Western Washington University, with a degree in Public Relations – Journalism. Her time at Western taught her how to find and tell unique stories and ensure they reach the communities that need to hear them.  

Before moving to Seattle, Olivia worked with local nonprofits and organizations in Bellingham to help share their missions and services with likeminded people. Those experiences, combined with personal passions, deepened her interest in healthcare and education, two fields where conversations can make a big difference in people’s lives.  

When she’s not working on a daily to-do list, you can find her experimenting in the kitchen, the one arena where she feels order and organization aren’t a necessity.  

Hobbies:  
Cooking (especially soups), needle felting and creating collections such as vintage poststamps, Russian nesting dolls and trinkets.

Crab rangoons, swimming rama, pho with meatballs, and a Thai iced tea
