I am a creative, innovative, and collaborative professional with experience across human services, social work, customer service, marketing, writing, and sales. I thrive in roles that combine storytelling with education and community impact. I love helping people grow—whether teaching visual arts, creating engaging content, or coordinating community services—and I thrive in inclusive teams that empower others to explore their creativity and reach their goals. Review from Completed Project: “I had an excellent experience working with Olivia Gendreau. She brought my 1-2-3 emotions song to life with a warm, expressive, and beautiful voice that was perfect for a children’s project. She delivered the finished recording the very next day, and the quality truly exceeded my expectations. Communication was smooth, she clearly understood the emotional tone I was aiming for, and the final result was better than I imagined. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, reliable vocalist.“ - Cindy Spellman…
