The glamorous athlete is keenly aware of her good fortune and has established The Livvy Fund to help other LSU athletes in attracting NIL deals. When asked how she manages all of these different roles, she said, “I don’t feel pressure on a day-to-day basis.” She attributes this ease to her biggest supporter and sister, Julz Dunne.
