FEATUREDI am a strong woman and I love to act and go into character. I am very much of a outdoor person but also loves to dress it up whenever I can.
FEATUREDI am a dynamic determined person ready to make an impact in the word. I like to take the opportunity to learn new things and get involved with the community; because even though they are my dreams it's not just to help me. I have a plan of wanting to bring my art to life whether it's through my writing or fashion.

I’m trying something new. I spent 24 years in the Air Force in various photographic/intel rolls. I taught photography and film processing for about three and a half years and left that role as a Master Instructor. Retired honorably in 1996. I sold steaks part time for about eight years (left as member of Omaha Seaks’ Million Dollar Club). I worked at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo for about 9 seasons, first five years giving tours of the zoo, then moved to what eventually became the Interactive Animals program, where I was in charge of daily operations at the Stingray exhibit for the first two years of its operation. I most recently worked less formally in a local gift shop owned by friends. Looking for new and interesting challenges. I can’t say that I have acting experience, but I was a background player in the film “Lovely, Still” when it was filmed in Omaha, in which I appeared as the photographer almost invisibly distant nex to the Giant Union Station Christmas tree. As a collector and historian, I have knowledge of filmmaking equipment (though mainly antique and vintage equipment) so I have been in a way on the sidelines. It is an industry I would like to be mired in directly a part of.

My name is Olivia John Gumaa, although my family knows me as Kiden. My family and I moved to the United States in 2000. I attended high school for two years, graduated, and later attended college on and off while studying psychology. Due to financial challenges, I was unable to complete my degree. Throughout my life, I have worked hard to provide for my family. I spent many years working in group homes and manufacturing, and today I am proud to work as a Quality Technician for a great company. I am also the mother of four wonderful children. One dream has stayed with me since I was a young girl: acting. Back in my home country, I participated in acting through school and church programs. I loved bringing stories to life and performing in front of others. In 2009, after moving to Lincoln, I tried to pursue acting again. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of money on an agency that did not produce any opportunities, and I eventually gave up on that path. Even though life took me in a different direction, my passion for acting never disappeared. It has always been something I wanted to pursue. I believe I have the dedication, life experience, and determination to succeed if given the opportunity. I am asking for a chance to prove myself. I may not have professional acting experience, but I bring authenticity, resilience, and a genuine love for the craft. I am ready to learn, work hard, and show what I can do. Thank you for your time and consideration. Olivia Kiden Gumaa
