Lisa Vertulfo

Lisa provides guidance and leadership for every step of the adoption process — from family intake to post-adoption — and continually seeks creative ways to develop Holt’s services to children and families. Lisa is a licensed, master’s degree-level social worker with over 25 years of experience in international adoption. Lisa began her Holt career while still in college, as a summer volunteer in Korea, and worked for Holt in Thailand and Ecuador — giving her a unique perspective on all parts of the adoption process. She has several family members who were adopted internationally, and she stands committed to elevating the voice of adoptees and drawing upon their experiences to inform Holt’s work and practices.
