Kendrick Torbey, MS
Director of Advocacy and Education
Before serving as the Director of Advocacy and Education at the Allo Hope Foundation, Kendrick’s experience focused in education and nonprofit work. Kendrick holds a BA in History and Sociology from Boston University and a MA in Special Education from Western New Mexico University. She has been an elementary educator, assistant principal, and a curriculum specialist, and worked for a state education agency, and also served as an advocate in domestic violence nonprofit work. Her expertise in nonprofit board management and staff culture paired with her experience as an alloimmunized patient lends itself to her skills in engaging stakeholders through online platforms and partnering with other nonprofit organizations.
Kendrick became involved with the Allo Hope Foundation after receiving her alloimmunization diagnosis in 2021 where her pregnancy with her second son necessitated intrauterine transfusions as early as 15 weeks of gestation. She became passionately involved in patient advocacy and education for the alloimmunized patient community. She now manages the Foundation’s social media efforts, nonprofit partnerships, and educational opportunities, alongside her ongoing patient support efforts.
