As the Director of Operations, Communication, and Development at Bellis, I am dedicated to expanding our reach and raising awareness around the experiences of parents who have experienced termination of parental rights, transfer of legal custody, and other circumstances.

I am proficient in data capture, analysis, and reporting, and have a deep understanding of interpersonal dynamics within teams. Additionally, I have expertise in managing digital assets—websites, social media, and email campaigns—to help amplify our mission and connect with broader audiences.My journey in leadership began in the market research sector, where I honed my skills by managing thousands of projects, advancing from Recruiter to Vice President of Consumer Engagement. Along the way, I developed a unique understanding of the power of communication, research, and client relationships—skills I now use to advance the important work of Bellis.As a biological mother who made an adoption plan for my first and only child, I bring a deeply personal perspective to the work I do at Bellis. My lived experience fuels my passion for advocacy and drives me to create more compassionate and supportive systems for parents in challenging circumstances.I am excited to continue growing Bellis and contributing to the movement for change, one that ensures better care, respect, and understanding for those who’ve experienced a termination of parental rights.
