EFBC Welcomes a New Team Member

Olivia joined EFBC last month as a Marketing Coordinator.

1. What drew you to EFBC, and what excites you most about joining the team?

EFBC stood out to me because of its close-knit team and extensive, strong community. I’m looking forward to working alongside dedicated colleagues and contributing to their impactful work and mission.  

2. Please tell us a little about your professional background and what you hope to bring to EFBC.

I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a BS in Advertising and a BFA in Graphic Design. Loving design and strategy, I found my place in marketing, working on marketing and design projects for all different types of companies.  

Starting my own business has always been a dream and last year it finally came to fruition. Inspired by my love of design and Chicago’s many vintage stores and markets, I started a business selling vintage clothing and jewelry and joined three vintage collective brick-and-motor stores in the city.  

I’ve long admired entrepreneurs and their ability to forge their own paths, and launching my own business has only deepened that appreciation. At EFBC, I’m excited to bring a fresh perspective to our marketing efforts and to help grow and strengthen our community of business leaders and entrepreneurs. 

3. In your spare time, what do you like to do for fun? 

I enjoy exploring the city and discovering new shops and neighborhoods. Living in Wicker Park, I especially love rollerblading and running on the 606 during the summer. 

4. What is your go-to karaoke song? 

“Since You Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson.
