Olivia Ponton's Background: She's a High School Graduate
Born on May 30, 2002 [age 18], in Florida, Olivia Marie Ponton started out as a model while in High School. She attended Naples High School, which she graduated from just recently in May 2020. Her ex-boyfriend, Cyr, also attended her graduation even though he doesn't go to his school.

For furthering her career, she says she’d love to get an Associate in Arts degree at the bachelor’s stage. Her target major is architecture to hold an interior design degree. It's always been a plan since middle school!
Now a Hype House Member, the recently 18-turned is 5' 8" in height, but you might not believe how "tiny, short girl" she used to be before trying out her modeling work. In fact, it was after her height grew that people suggested she should be a model. Then the "Oh my gosh, maybe I should," bulb glowed in her mind.
She started to grow in eighth grade, but her growth spurt occurred only during her freshman and sophomore year in high school.
Track & Field and traveling are her top interests.

Who Are Her Role Models? How She Signed for the Wilhelmina Models Modeling Agency
Olivia Ponton signed for the Miami-based modeling agency, Wilhelmina Models, in the spring/summer of 2019 to further her modeling career. And she didn't choose Wilhelmina just because. A lot of things were in consideration.
Like, who wouldn't hire her?

After she decided she should try modeling, Ponton attended the Miami Swim Week over a year ago and visited some brands while at it, still unsigned as a free agent. But she was always asked which agency she was signed with. So she decided she will search for one.
Deciding to give modeling a shot, she snapped some photos of herself and submitted them to agencies based in Miami because she wanted to work the one close to her home in Florida. Then she got an amazing response from Wilhelmina Models, and she knew that it was where she wanted to work. They were so eager that they asked her when she'd move to start working.
They were adamant in telling people they were not together before.

However, Olivia was still in High School at the time. It was only in Spring break this year that she traveled over there and did some test shots for the agency. Her job was thus booked before COVID-19 halted her travel time for photoshoots. She hopes to work full time for Wilhelmina.
As for the biggest personal icons out there, exotic model Alexis Ren is 100% her first choice because she is such an environmentalist. Addison Rae [net worth: $3 million] is also someone she will absolutely look up to because Ponton loves her positive, bubbly personality.
She tried on some signature poses of Alexis Ren's (including the expressions), and she killed it!

How does she handle the industry where "some people view it as a place where insecurity thrives"? Her agency, Wilhelmina Models, helps her get a homey feeling and also feel like it's not such a scary business as they really nurture her. She wouldn't give up influencing and modeling for the world.
As for the negativity, she avoids it by literally avoiding it and with the trick of reading on positivity books, she mentions in a full interview with The Teen Magazine (where the above & some preceding information is retrieved from).
