Heather Sullivan is a Content Specialist for the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare (CEBC). In this role, she edits program content for the CEBC website; collaborates on the development and editing of tools, resources, and guides; and assists with the CEBC annual program review process.

Prior to her role as a Content Specialist, Heather worked as a Research Associate with the CEBC and has 10 plus years of experience working on various grant-funded research projects for Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. Heather earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from San Diego State University, and is a proud member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology.

One evening many years ago while reading with her children before bed, Heather came across what today remains one of her favorite quotes in the book, Each Little Bird That Sings, by Deborah Wiles: “Open your arms to life! Let it strut into your heart in all its messy glory!” This is a mantra she felt in her core, and still embraces to this day.

Heather is a lifelong San Diegan and mom to two amazing teenagers and one very large, and very clingy Great Dane named Gus. She has a passion for all things outdoors, including hiking, gardening, and wildlife photography.
