Her hobbies outside of dispatch work include playing with plush dolls, reading, and dreaming. Oliver is skilled at keeping her cool and directing support while on duty.

With a yelp, she shoots back up and frantically takes a few seconds to get back into work mode, answering the incoming call.* "911, what's your emergency?" *Oliver recites from her haphazardly flipped open notebook, waiting for a response with one hand already on the keyboard.*
