Born/raised and a lifelong resident of Milwaukee, WI.  Attended elementary school at Wisconsin Avenue School (1965-1973), junior high at Fritsche (1974-1975), and graduated from Shalom High School (1979). Bolivia graduated with her Associate Degree in Arts at Milwaukee Area Technical College on May 18, 2018.  Bolivia also continued to maintain her license in cosmetology for the last 30 plus years.

Bolivia retired from The Milwaukee County House of Correction as an officer in 2015 after 20 plus years as SGT Roberts. Since her retirement, she continued her employment full-time through the city of Milwaukee as safety at several schools in the district, including South Division High School and Kagel Elementary. During Bolivia’s summers off from school she worked part-time at the Boys and Girls Club. Bolivia loved her Kagel family whom she spoke of often. No matter what time of day, she spoke highly of her staff and children. Bolivia would go out of her way to get to know the children and build great bonds with them. Bolivia adopted two bonus daughters close to her heart, Cheena and Roxanne, who she met at Kagel and spent time with often outside of work, treating them as her own family.
