Olivia Smith

Olivia Smith has lived in Jacksonville since she was an infant and has a deep love for Duval. She is Mama to an energetic, wildly bright boy and a super sassy, independent girl. Olivia works full time in fundraising in the nonprofit sector of Northeast Florida, and is deeply passionate about creating spaces in Jax that center community, belonging and equity. In addition to her full-time job, she channels that passion through her volunteer role on the Board of Directors for Haven Retreats and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Olivia is also currently in grad school at Jacksonville University, where she will complete her master’s degree in public policy in December of 2026. When she’s not tied down amongst those many roles and responsibilities, you can find her cheering obnoxiously for the Jacksonville Jaguars or Jumbo Shrimp or Florida Gators, enjoying a good book, looking for sharks teeth at the beach, spending time on the Jacksonville RiverWalk, enjoying a beer at a local brewery or sipping an oat milk chai latte at a coffee shop.
