Focus Reentry Staff

Molly | Executive Director | 

Molly is a Boulder Native. She received a BA from the University of Colorado-Boulder and earned her J.D. from the Michigan State University College of Law. After graduation from Law School Molly returned to the Boulder Area.  Molly spent over three years helping incarcerated women earn their GEDs and this experience has made her passionate about reentry. In her free time she runs and does yoga.  Previously she was a member of the Focus board of directors for two years.

Lani | Program Director | 

Lani has a passion for the art of forgiveness and believes strongly in its ability to improve life and community.  She found Focus Reentry after a personal experience with people close to her who went through the justice system. Her experience inspired her to get involved with providing support to people trying to turn their life around after unfortunate experiences or mistakes they had made. With a background in administration, community building, and medicine, Lani works closely with Focus volunteers and clients in the Mentorship, Basic Needs, and the Team 72 program. She believes that Focus fills a big gap of support that many don’t receive in their transition out of jail and hopes to see programs like it grow around the country and world.

Trisha | Outreach Case Manager |

Trisha comes to us with a B.S. in Human Services from Iowa State University.  She spent the first few years of her career working with children in a variety of settings, but her favorite parts were teaching nutrition and environmental education, and managing school gardens. After relocating to Boulder in 2022, she felt a strong desire to shift her focus toward homeless services. When she discovered a homeless outreach position, she was immediately drawn to the unique and impactful nature of the work.

Trisha has always been passionate about working with underserved populations, and this role has deepened her understanding of the complex systems that contribute to homelessness. She is committed to elevating the voices of individuals whose needs often go unheard, working to ensure they have access to the support they deserve.

Jane | Intake and Data Specialist |

Through her own work and the experience of those near her, Jane began her journey toward helping those incarcerated with harm reduction and addiction recovery. While studying at CU Boulder, Jane worked as an Alcohol and Other Drug peer counselor and reflected on the inextricable link between drug use and incarceration in the US. After graduating Jane found Focus Reentry and worked closely with the clientele and community partners, she has since moved out of state and now provides virtual support with clients, data collection, program development and more. Jane also works closely with those with intellectual disabilities, and is a fierce advocate for those who are often overlooked.
