Olivia Dunne is an unequivocal advocate for women's sports. Even after retirement, the 22-year-old gymnast wishes to use her platform to promote women's sports as much as possible. The former LSU gymnast has already established 'The Livvy Fund' in this regard.

In an interview after the end of the NCAA Championships 2025, Dunne said,

"I definitely would want to do something with sports and keep advocating for women's sports, especially since I'm fortunate to have this platform. It's important to keep eyes on women's sports and keep the hype around gymnastics especially."

The former LSU gymnast also added that she will continue to be associated with brands, and she wishes to stay connected with sports. In her words,

"I can't pinpoint what I want to do, but I want to try everything. I want to try new opportunities. I just want to explore what my options are going to be and just do everything and have fun with it. I'll keep working with brands, and I'll keep being a sports fan and staying involved with sports."

Olivia Dunne made it to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list of 2024. The same year, she led the LSU Tigers to their maiden NCAA Championships title.
