Dolores started with the PA Breast Cancer Coalition as a consultant for the first conference in 1995, and became a full-time employee in 1997. For the next several years her time was divided between the annual conference and the Mother’s Day Mammogram program. The experience gained through the mammogram program provided excellent training for her current position as Director of Patient Advocacy. While the PBCC advocates for all women in Pennsylvania through programming and legislative change, Dolores advocates on a one-on-one basis for women who might otherwise fall through the cracks in the system. She helps them navigate their way toward accessing quality medical care. It is a job that is both challenging and rewarding and she feels blessed to work with colleagues who support one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Dolores is also the mother of two grown children and is a singer/songwriter. She volunteers at hospitals in Philadelphia with the Musicians on Call program, and is an avid Phillies fan.

Inspired by her mom, Jessica, a two-time breast cancer survivor, Olivia is passionate about helping other women facing this challenge. Outside of work, you'll find Olivia spending time with her wife, Kat, and their furry family of cats. She enjoys any and all fiber arts, spending time with her family, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
