Olivia Pickett

Founding Family Advisory Council

Olivia Pickett is a dynamic leader and scholar with a lifelong commitment to service, advocacy, and academic excellence. As a member of the Founding Family Advisory Council (FFAC), Olivia plays a vital role in ensuring the Foundation’s mission remains rooted in the values of leadership and community impact. Her leadership journey began early; she served as the Student Body President for West Millbrook Middle School during both her 7th and 8th-grade years, where she acted as a vital voice for her peers and a bridge between the student body and administration.

Academic Excellence & The National Achievers Society In the classroom, Olivia maintains a rigorous schedule of Honors and Advanced Placement courses. She is a proud member of the National Achievers Society (NAS), a prestigious academic honor society dedicated to identifying and motivating high-achieving students of color. Membership in NAS is reserved for students who maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA and demonstrate a consistent commitment to “Achieving Academic Excellence.” Through the Society, Olivia engages in a community of scholars focused on college readiness, leadership development, and cultural pride, further sharpening the analytical skills she brings to her advisory role within the Foundation.

Faith and Community Impact Olivia’s dedication to her community is reflected in her extensive volunteer work. She served as a Youth Ambassador for Marbles Kids Museum and remains deeply active in her church, where her commitment is a weekly priority. She spends three Sundays a month contributing her technical skills to the Production Team and dedicates the fourth Sunday to serving in the Children’s Ministry, helping to shape the next generation of faith-led leaders.

Artistry and Advocacy Outside of her academic and service life, Olivia is a talented musician, playing both the bassoon and saxophone in her high school band. Driven by a sharp analytical mind and a passion for protecting the rights of others, Olivia plans to pursue a career in law. She is focused on using her future legal education to advocate for justice and community impact, continuing the Pickett family legacy of selfless service on a global scale.
