Born in the Santurce district of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Olavarría was an expressive and eloquent child.

She graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2004 with a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications, with a concentration in Journalism and Public Relations.
At age 16, she started out as a model by competing in Elite Model Look Competition Puerto Rico, where she placed third.
