When Olivia Morales, DBNC's Community Partner Specialist, moved to North Carolina to pursue a Master’s in Public Health, she never imagined it would lead her to a career at DBNC. “During my two-year program, I volunteered with DBNC, and that experience opened my eyes to the incredible impact of their work.”
Olivia shared that she felt drawn to her role because it offered a unique opportunity to build meaningful relationships while witnessing and contributing to DBNC's positive impact across the state. "I love hearing firsthand how our outreach makes a difference. Collaborating with partners to find solutions for the families they serve is both inspiring and energizing.”
She’s especially proud of DBNC’s Stories from the Field, a powerful initiative that highlights the real lives being impacted through the organization’s work. “These stories remind us that we’re not just tracking numbers—we’re uplifting people and helping them thrive.”
When asked about words of wisdom she lives by, Olivia shared one of her favorites: “But Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou. And for a fun peek beyond her day-to-day work? Her favorite dessert is custard topped with fudge and raspberries, and she cheers wholeheartedly for her hometown team—the Minnesota Vikings!
