Where Did Olivia Rogers Grow Up?īorn and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, Olivia first stepped onto Sydney's modelling scene as a teenager after being scouted at just 17 years old. Still a keen artist, Olivia says she "would love to combine passion for art and passion for speech pathology to maybe create resources for speech pathologists to use in therapy". With a particular interest in the vibrancy of Mexican art, Olivia says that she was drawn to colour and fascinated by the way that the Day of the Dead festival can turn morbidity into beauty. While studying her degree, Olivia became an entrepreneur, launching a small business selling her self-taught illustrations and paintings.

Fortunately, Olivia put her fears aside and took a chance. She found the idea of getting on stage in front of the nation, especially in a bikini, incredibly intimidating.

" Even in front of my family I am a bit self-conscious ," Olivia said. A late entrant to the Miss Universe contest, Olivia almost didn't take part.
