Olivia joins Big Brothers Big Sisters with over 25 years of experience in the non-profit sector. Most recently, Olivia served as President and CEO of the American Lung Association’s California Charter for three years where she was responsible for significant organization transitions and restructuring while cultivating a Culture of Philanthropy that resulted in raising over $1.3M over a two-year period. During this time, she also managed teams responsible for major public policy initiatives including the passage of Proposition 56, a ballot measure that increased the cigarette tax by $2 per pack in California.

Prior to her time with the American Lung Association, Olivia held senior roles in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the American Cancer Society.  She brings a proven track record of managing nationwide teams, leading philanthropy efforts that resulted in significant funds raised for organizations, driving public health and policy initiatives on both organizational and state-wide scale, and managing organizations that create meaningful outcomes for communities.  She is a strategic leader known for her ability to motivate staff and volunteers to focus on profit and impact, and has shown her ability to execute on initiatives that, for many other executives, would have been unlikely or impossible.

Olivia is a graduate of Bowling Green State University in Ohio where she studied Journalism and Public Relations.
