Olivia Ellson - Humanities
B.A. English and Creative Writing, Brandeis University

Olivia's academic background lies primarily in history and in literature, but she will be the first to argue that there's no sharp line between the two subjects—or any subjects, really. She comes to Meridian after working at another Boston-area school, and previously spent time in both the public history sector—doing historical interpretation at sites along the Freedom Trail—and in the publishing industry. In her free time, she continues to explore a myriad of other interests including ballet, birding, historical sewing, and celebrating her favorite holiday: Halloween. Olivia joined Meridian in 2023.
