Ollie Huntsman grew up in the small town of Ashfield, Massachusetts, sharing a modest home with her older sister, Polly, and their grandmother. Despite their humble circumstances, their home was filled with love and resilience. Ollie spent much of her childhood immersed in books from the local library, a cozy sanctuary that fueled her imagination and introduced her to existentialist thinkers who shaped her introspective worldview. Polly often took care of Ollie while their grandmother worked long hours, creating a stable and nurturing environment that allowed Ollie to explore her passions and develop her quiet, loyal nature.

Now a freshman at Woodcrest University, Ollie is majoring in Psychology and Community Studies, driven by her fascination with understanding people and her commitment to mental health advocacy. Though shy and introverted, Ollie’s warmth and kindness shine through her small circle of friends. Balancing her perfectionist tendencies with the demands of college life, she is slowly finding her footing on the ivy-covered campus. While she still wrestles with self-doubt, Ollie is cautiously optimistic about carving out her path, staying true to her values, and making a positive impact in the world.
