Olivia Dunne returned to LSU for the fifth year after contributing to the school's historic victory of clinching the NCAA Championships last year.

In an interview with Best of Both Worlds with Flau'jae, she opened up about the potential future opportunities, including NIL. Having spent four years in the NIL spectrum, the gymnast believes, she is ready to help other female gymnasts navigate through the same.

"I'm always trying to think of the next thing and yes I would like to enjoy certain moments more but I love to think about what comes next and I love that inspired feeling that I get when I think about, “hey like this can totally happen in the future,” and I think for me keep doing NIL and stay in the NIL space is something that I would love to do because I now have so much knowledge about it," Olivia Dunne said.

Dunne started "The Livvy Fund" on July 6, 2023, to assist female collegiate athletes to navigate and earn profits through NIL.
