Before joining Nesta, Olivia worked for the Department of Health and Social Care for five and a half years, covering a range of policy areas including adult social care, mental health, general practice and neighbourhood health. Olivia's interest in health policy was sparked by her time working as a primary care neighbourhood coordinator for a GP federation in Southwark. Olivia has an MSc in Health Policy and a BA in History. Outside of work, Olivia enjoys playing netball, reading, and planning her next holiday.
