Hello! My name is Olivia Grandy. I am delighted to be working as a student intern at the Estevan Mercury.
I’m grateful for this opportunity to gain experience in the field of journalism and meet some extraordinary people in the southeast corner along the way. Who knows? I might even meet you!
I am currently a Grade 12 student at Oxbow Prairie Horizons School. I take pride in СÀ¶ÊÓƵ an active student. I am a leader of the Student Representative Council and Students Against Impaired Driving. Before the pandemic, I ran cross-country and track and field. I have competed at the provincial level in both.
I consider myself to be the result of a collective upbringing. I’ve had the privilege of growing up on a grain farm south of Glen Ewen with my family. I have also been fortunate enough to travel throughout my childhood.  Consequently, I feel I’ve developed a rich curiosity for the world around me, both locally and abroad. I have a passion for local agriculture and industry, along with international issues.
I enjoy working as a lifeguard and a swimming lesson instructor at the Oxbow Swimming Pool during the summer.
In my spare time, I love writing and reading all levels of news and media. I had three pieces published in Windscript Magazine by the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild in 2019. When I’m not writing, I enjoy running on gravel roads, playing guitar, cooking and hanging out with my dog Tori.
I look forward to serving you in the southeast corner!
