Olivia Pierce

Biography

Hi there! My name is Olivia Pierce and I am a junior at IU studying Sports Media with a minor in Sports Marketing and Management over in the School of Public Health! At the media school, I serve as a hockey beat reporter for IU Student Television-Sports, as well as a sideline reporter for Big Ten + under the Big Ten Student U program!

I have an extreme passion for sideline reporting since I provide the closest connection that viewers will get from the broadcast! My role as a storyteller is crucial for the viewers relationship to caring about the game I’m broadcasting. Live sports is one of the only broadcasted events where not even the reporters know what’s going to happen, and that’s why I think it is so thrilling to go into a high stakes game!

Outside of my studies, I am a really passionate Disney adult, White Sox fanatic, and Blackhawks supporter! I also love trying new forms of fitness at the gym and playing golf!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the sports media path here at IU!
