Early life and education

Bellamy was born in a rural own in North Carolina. [1] She was raised by her grandparents. [1] Her father's parents worked as farmers and her mother's mother worked in a hospital cafeteria. [1] On the farm, Bellamy was involved with the summer harvest of tobacco, and learned to drive a tractor at the age of five. Bellamy spent her summer holidays taking part in a mathematics summer camp at North Carolina Central University. [1] She was an undergraduate student at Hampton University, where she studied mathematics and graduated summa cum laude . [1] She moved to Harvard University for graduate studies, where she focused on biostatistics. [2] Bellamy completed her doctoral research at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, supervised by Louise M. Ryan, [3] where she made use of clustered data methods for community-based research. [4] After graduating she worked as a statistical consultant for various organisations, including working on the East Boston Asthma Study.[ citation needed ]

Research and career

Bellamy was appointed to the faculty at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 2001. [2] She was eventually promoted to Professor of Biostatistics. [2] In 2016, Bellamy joined Drexel University as a Professor of Biostatistics and Director of the biostatistics graduate program. Her research considers the efficacy of interventions in longitudinal behavioural modification trials. In particular, she has focused on HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease and healthy living.[ citation needed ]

Bellamy was elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2016. Bellamy was made President of the North American region in the International Biometric Society in 2017. [5] She joined the adjunct faculty at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in 2021, where she was responsible for providing career mentorship for people from historically marginalized groups. [6]
