Before assuming her role as the resident science nerd and nutrition expert at Eat This, Not That!, Olivia dabbled in Molecular Genetics research, worked in the restaurant industry, and was a managing editor and food columnist for her college's newspaper. After graduating pre-med with a bachelor's degree in Biology from Amherst College, where she was captain of the Women's Varsity Track & Field team, Olivia turned her passion for food, health, and wellness to the nutrition industry instead of learning how to use a stethoscope in med school.
