Advocate by day, server extraordinaire by night, Olivia likes to have her hands full. While it is difficult to fully describe her position as Positive Prevention Coordinator at the AIDS Committee of Guelph and Wellington County, broadly speaking, she works to challenge HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination.

Despite having a degree in English and a love of writing (which doesn’t mean that she is necessarily good at it), this is Olivia’s first blogging experience (so be gentle). When she’s not blogging or working, she’ll likely be eating chocolate, belly dancing, or enjoying a glass of wine (or beer or gin…). She’s a feminist, sociologist, and “empathist”. Expect to read sarcastic rants, explorations of questions that plague her mind, and tales from the field of HIV/AIDS.
