Belinda is BTL's Waco Regional Coordinator. A victim of childhood traume and abuse, Belinda ran away from home as an adolescent and later experienced domestic violence as well. Belinda's pain led her down a road of destructive behavior that culminated in four prison sentences from ages 17 to 35. Her healing began during her incarceration when she surrendered her life to Christ.

​

In 2010, Belinda learned about Bridges To Life and volunteered for her first BTL project as a crime victim speaker. As she began sharing her story, she realized the hope that offenders gained from seeing the transformation of someone who had walked in their shoes. As a Regional Coordinator for BTL since 2015, Belinda continues to carry the healing and hope she has received to men and women in prison. 

Belinda has 3 children and 9 grandchildren.
