Olivia Chaney is kicking off junior year at Texas State University and is a lover of art, music and sports while on pursuit of relaxation.

Chaney is a 20-year-old electronic media major with a focus on digital media. Her hometown is Missouri City, Texas, although she was born in Lafayette, Louisiana. When it comes to relaxation, Chaney turns to music and art. Her favorite musician is Frank Ocean. She explains, “I can hear the art he is making through his music, and I feel him in my heart even when he is MIA.” On top of that, she loves to color with markers because of the smooth structure of the pens. When she is not in the comfort of art and music, she loves to play and watch sports as well as meeting new people.

Chaney played basketball for seven years and went to college with the same passion for sports. She joined KTSW’s sports department to learn about broadcasting for sports. After two semesters, she wanted to branch out within her field of mass communication and she switched to KTSW’s social media department. She has more opportunities with this department to meet new people, create new connections and be involved with behind-the-scenes work for the radio station. Chaney will always love sports, but she is excited to have experience with more than one field while she is in college.
