Olivia Shilling Livvy has lived in Johnstown most of her life and has fond memories of Junior Choir and Sunday School at the church. Over the years, as figure skating began to involve a greater commitment, her ability to attend services grew limited. Although time for physical church diminished, her love of Christ grew through prayer, devotionals, and family discussions about the purpose of God’s hand in our lives. Since 5th grade, Livvy has pursued rigorous coursework through the Ohio Virtual Academy. At graduation this June, Livvy will give the salutatorian address to her class of over 850 students. Livvy enjoys reading, golfing, and playing the ukulele in her spare time, and her favorite subjects to study are chemistry, physics, mathematics, and history. Currently, Livvy is thrilled to be training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She began her skating journey over 10 years ago as an alternative to ballet class and has enjoyed the many successes and failures that sports offer. Each day at the training center is a mental and physical challenge, and she is grateful that she can find strength in the solid footing she received from her family and from the Presbyterian Church of Johnstown. Once finished with training, Livvy will resume her academic pursuits. She was accepted into several engineering programs throughout the United States, where she plans to study petroleum and natural gas engineering, if that program is offered, or mechanical engineering, at schools where it is not. She is inspired by the thought of improving the day-today lives of others through providing access to safe, low-cost energy solutions.
