For April, RecSports is excited to highlight a student employee's contributions to our RecSports community here at Notre Dame. This month, we are thrilled to feature Olivia Curtis, a Personal Trainer and Women on Weights Instructor! She is also a Campus RecSports Leadership Board member and an Office Assistant. She can almost always be found in the RecSports Office working hard to bring a fulfilling experience to those who participate in RecSports’ variety of offers.
Originally from Bellevue, Washington, Olivia is a senior studying political science in her third year of working for RecSports. Her favorite class is currently “The Age of Alexander”, a course dedicated to Alexander the Great and Hellenistic Greece, which she loves for its dramatic coverage of the ancient Macedonian aristocracy, which parallels the dramatics of reality TV.
When not working in one of her many RecSports roles or learning about Hellenistic Greece, Olivia likes to stay active by lifting weights and running, as well as painting and cooking. This semester, she has challenged herself to attend all group fitness classes before she graduates, so she also enjoys attending 1-2 RecSports fitness classes per week. Her favorite class is currently Zumba!
Olivia’s favorite thing about working for RecSports is the community and culture, citing her coworkers and ProStaff as creating a supportive and fun environment. Olivia also loves being able to share her passion for fitness with others! Additionally, the opportunities for professional development have made Olivia’s three years with RecSports rewarding and encouraging. Her favorite RecSports memory is laughing at her jokes while MCing the RecSports Christmas party and dropping the ticket basket on stage.
Thank you, Olivia, for all that you do for RecSports and our Notre Dame community!
