Olivia Fernandez is a third year senior staffer and Achona’s 2018-2019 Multimedia Editor. She has been a student council representative since fresman year, and has attended multiple rallies with Algebra II teacher Jenny VanPelt. As she winds down from her responsibilities as head of the Father Daughter Dance committee, Olivia watches "American Horror Story" on Netflix. When she is not filming videos and posting them to her Youtube channel, she can be found taking photos with her friends or making Spotify playlists. In school, her favorite subject is AP Computer Science, which is not surprising considering Olivia’s affinity for experimenting with various multimedia and technologies. This year, she is most excited for “Grad Bash and everything that comes along with senior year,” but admits that going to school without her friends next year will be tough. Olivia aspires to either attend University of Florida or Boston University for video production or telecommunications for the fall semester of 2019.
