Olivia Cloer

Olivia Cloer was one of 40 children selected to be on CBS’s 2007 reality show, Kid Nation. At the age of 13, Olivia was tasked with surviving in the New Mexico desert, while caring for her 8 year old sister, Mallory and navigating the world of producers and manipulation. Olivia’s memoir, Stronger Than You Think, chronicles their experience being cast, filmed, and experiencing the aftermath of the show.

Today, Olivia lives in Indianapolis with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Felix. After graduating from DePauw University with a BA in English Writing and Communications, she pursued a career in nonprofit, working in marketing and development. Stronger Than You Think is her first book.
