Olivia Keller ’22 exemplifies what it means to lead with purpose. As a Division I athlete at the University of St. Thomas, she has become a multi-event school record-holder, a conference standout, and the university’s Athlete of the Year, a recognition built on talent, discipline, and genuine passion.

But Olivia’s impact extends far beyond the track.

Just two months after graduating from AHA, she launched The Sky’s the Limit podcast, a platform where she encourages listeners to embrace growth, gratitude, and the fullness of who they are called to be. Her message is honest, hopeful, and rooted in the values she first cultivated at Holy Angels.

In February 2024, she added “author” to her growing list of accomplishments with the release of her first children’s book, The Speaking Seashell. Inspired by her relationship with her grandfather, the story beautifully captures the importance of intergenerational connection and the wisdom shared between young and old.

Service remains central to Olivia’s life. She has participated in medical mission trips to Honduras in 2023, where she scrubbed into surgery, and to Argentina in 2024, volunteering in hospital settings and deepening her commitment to compassionate care.

Her entrepreneurial spirit emerged next. In the summer of 2025, Olivia helped form CognitionIQ LLC, a developing startup rooted in a NASA neurotechnology patent and aimed at advancing cognitive health tools for young students.

Through each endeavor, Olivia remains grounded in many of the values she learned at Holy Angels: humility, faith, and a sincere desire to help and serve others. Her journey is a testament to what happens when talent and drive meet purpose, and when a young alumni carries the AHA mission boldly into the world.
