Olivia Hyzy

Olivia Bernadette Hyzy was born outside of Chicago, and spent half of her childhood in a small corn town named Sycamore, and then moved at 11 years old to Traverse City, Michigan. She caught the acting bug at the mere age of 8 after seeing her sibling perform in a theater production. A shy, reserved Olivia loved having acting as an outlet to express herself. She played a lot of sports growing up too; including, soccer, basketball and softball. She did both sports and theater at the same time for several years. Then, she solely focused on theater and singing. Choir and theater became her top priority in high school. After high school graduation, Olivia moved to Kalamazoo, Mi where she attended Western Michigan University. She graduated in May of 2021 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre - Acting, and a Minor in Music. She found a TV job just 2 months after graduating, and thanks Chicago Med for starting her career! She started off working 5 days a week (60+ hours) as a background & stand in actor on the show, and then was given a Co-Star role, making her SAG-Eligible by Episode 6 of Season 7. She then got an agent and began auditioning as much as she could! Now a local to the Chicago TV/Film & Theatre scene, Olivia is more than excited to create, collaborate and grow as an artist.
