From our Holiday Gala at Salamander: Olivia brings us Jingle Bell Rock! At A Place To Be, Olivia is always singing and dancing in the lobby before, during, and after her sessions. Despite being such a natural performer, even Olivia started to feel a bit nervous in front of such a large crowd, unsure if she wanted to face the audience or sing. With encouragement from APTB team members Stephen and Kayse, and her intern Maddie, Olivia builds up her confidence right on the stage, and soon has the audience cheering and laughing as she sings and jokes, creating a magical moment that both she and the audience loved!
