Olivia Dunne once recounted the pressure of her early days as a collegiate gymnast, including receiving attention. The 22-year-old gymnast-turned-influencer mentioned about the same in an interview with ESPN, as she said,

"I was 18 years old when everything changed, and I felt like I couldn't breathe," She said. "I felt like I couldn't make a mistake. But something you learn on social media is you will get hate and you will get people that are bitter towards you, especially when you have success."

Dunne further added,

"But I think that having the eyes on me has been such a blessing in my life, and I feel like it's translated over into eyes on the sport of gymnastics, which was a huge deal to me and a huge reason why I kept coming back for more. ... Watching the growth of the sport, and women's sports overall, has meant so much to me."

The New Jersey native represented the LSU Tigers as a collegiate gymnast from 2021-2025. The gymnast-turned-influencer bid farewell to collegiate gymnastics after representing the LSU Tigers at the NCAA Championships for one last time in April 2025.
