A little bit more about Olivia:
Being a proud Novocastrian, Olivia frequents the beach and loves the ocean-side lifestyle that Newcastle provides. She is a regular at the ocean baths doing laps, soaking up the sun near the beach reading a good book or at the pilates studio! Outside of work, she is a keen traveller and always has the next international holiday or road trip being planned in the background.
