Meet Olivia Durrence, our new Orchestra Teacher at LMS!
Olivia is from Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia. She also comes from a GCPS family, with both of her parents having worked for the district. Before joining Lilburn Middle, Olivia taught at Lanier and Brookwood High Schools.
Olivia fell in love with orchestra when she was a middle school student, and she became a music educator because she wants to pass that same love of music on to her own students.
Outside of school, Olivia enjoys distance running, reading, cooking, and watching football and baseball. Her favorite book is “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah, and she enjoys “The Office” and “Beauty and the Beast.” She is a big Georgia Bulldogs fan, especially football and baseball, and also follows the Atlanta Braves.
Hilton Head Island is one of her favorite places to visit, and she would love to travel to France, spending time in Paris and along the coast. If she weren’t teaching orchestra, Olivia says she would be a constitutional lawyer working in Washington, D.C.
We’re glad to welcome Olivia to LMS!
