Olivia M. Rebanal
Program Director

Upon beginning college, Olivia began to discover her affinity for voicing concerns for women and for the Filipino community. Throughout those four enlightening years, she became lured into the campus activist scene, becoming an active member in Asian American, Filipino/Filipino American, and Asian women's groups on campus. Olivia was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is currently living in the East Coast with her husband David and their daughter Ophelia.

Blah, blah, blah.... What Olivia really loves to do is tinker in the kitchen, and she has great enthusiasm for tasting new cuisine and recreating them at home.

Olivia has a common assortment of complexes and issues but she is constantly striving for self-improvement. Olivia loves to sit, think, read, write, pray, ponder, walk, and dream. Her dream is to open her own restaurant, after she finishes changing the World into a more humane, organic, and loving place.
