She has been on Broadway in LES MIZ, MAMMA MIA and A CHRISTMAS CAROL. She has appeared in many regional productions of Miss Saigon, and zero regional productions of the King and I. She has been on many TV shows such as Instinct, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Good Wife, Odd Mom Out, Law and Order and Great News--on which she ALMOST always plays the almost interchangeable role of "frazzled Asian assistant who drops something". In her spare time, Olivia runs an etsy store called @kanojodesigns and has solo backpacked thru 30 different countries! She is proudest of all, of her extreme devotion to Cirque Du Soleil. She is a member and Often contributor to HARD CORE CIRQUE FANS the FAN CLUB and currently has seen ALL current running Cirque shows in the world, except for one BUT she has a ticket to fly to Brazil and see it in a month.

Welcome back to The Nerd Expansion! Today's guest is the one and onlyJennifer Sanett and her nerd love is Wine. It's fizzy, sparkling and everything VINO. Raise your glasses!
Jenn and Sasha went through Calabasas HS together, musical theater brought us even closer (cmon Pass The Candle!)... and then my senior year I discovered the Great Gatsby, and their prohibition era cocktails, and champagne in coupé glasses. Then, Jenn went to Disneyland... And New York. This is when Jenn realized she could combine her love of wine/booze from Gatsby, and her proximity to Solvang and Los Olivos, to start becoming a wine goddess!
