Olivia is a dedicated student who works hard in school but struggles with anxiety, which sometimes affects her performance. She aims to graduate high school and study psychology. Olivia has faced challenges at home, living with her dad and their dog, Minnie, while her younger siblings live with other family members. She has recently gone through trauma and is getting help from a therapist and a case manager. In her free time, Olivia enjoys listening to music, taking walks, and doing arts and crafts, but she often feels lonely as she has few friends. She wants to socialize more, but limited transportation makes it hard for her to meet new people. Despite these difficulties, Olivia continues to pursue her goals and looks for ways to connect with others and grow personally.

Olivia has a container of Play-Doh that she enjoys using to help her concentrate and manage her anxiety. She has faced challenges with distraction and anxiety, which have impacted her performance in school and her experiences at home. Working with Play-Doh helps Olivia cope with her distressing emotions and also allows her to connect with her friends.
