Olivia Chasse Helseth grew up in the Westerwood neighborhood, walking to Saint Pius, navigating the halls of Kiser, and eventually graduating from Grimsley High. From there, life took her north — first to Washington, D.C., where she earned her B.S.N. from Catholic University and worked in the Pediatric Cardiac ICU at Children’s National. Then further still to New York City, where she completed her Master’s of Nursing Anesthesia at Columbia University and launched a demanding, meaningful career.

But somewhere along the way — in between long shifts, school runs, and weekend getaways with her growing family — Olivia and her husband realized that the best place to raise their three kids might just be the one where her own story began.

Now back in Greensboro, Olivia is rediscovering the trails and parks she loved as a child, this time with little hikers in tow. Her days are full — of work, adventure, and connection — but she’s found that Greensboro offers a rhythm that feels both energizing and manageable. Whether she’s planning the next family trip, exploring new corners of the city, or simply walking familiar streets with her crew, there’s a deep comfort in being rooted where it all began.
