Stop Foodborne Illness is here to amplify voices that have experienced great trauma from something as base as eating. We are working for those that understand that public health and food safety are synonymous; and, for the courageous individuals that share their personal tragedy to prevent others from having the same experience.
You are not alone — whether you are in crisis, post-crisis or managing the life-long complications that can accompany surviving contaminated food. We, at Stop Foodborne Illness, are humbly dedicated to you.
We will continue working to stop foodborne illness.

Mitzi Baum joined the team at Stop Foodborne Illness as the Chief Executive Officer in May 2019. She is motivated by the mission to create a new strategy for Stop and its constituency that will drive change through advocacy, collaboration and innovation.
Prior to beginning her tenure at Stop, Mitzi cultivated a 23-year career at Feeding America beginning as a network services representative rising to the senior level position of managing director of food safety.
As managing director of food safety, Mitzi guided the continued development of food safety initiatives including development and execution of the food safety strategic plan; oversight of third-party food safety audit program; food safety educational summits; development of food safety resources; and coordination with donors and regulatory agencies to support food donations.
Before Feeding America, Mitzi managed restaurants for the Peasant Restaurant Co. in Atlanta, Funky’s Restaurants in Cincinnati, and Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises in Chicago.
Mitzi holds a Master of Science in Food Safety and a certificate in Food Law from Michigan State University. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH.
She has earned certificates in Non-Profit Management from the University of Chicago, Quality Management from DePaul University and Food Safety Management from Cornell University.
She is a certified seafood HACCP instructor and is a certified PCQI. Mitzi is a member of the International Association of Food Protection, the Conference for Food Protection and the Association of Food and Drug Officials.
Maria Krysciak began working with Stop Foodborne Illness as a part-time book keeper in April 2010, which became a full-time position of Operations Manager in November. Within a year, her persistent diligence, strong work ethic and attention to detail in responsibilities ranging from Human Resources, Board Relations and Office Administration to Finance and Accounting were the catalyst for a promotion to Director of Operations.
Prior to joining our organization, Maria worked at the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau (CCTB), a nonprofit organization. She has over twenty years of experience in accounting, administrative and member services, and has worked as a Grant Coordinator liaison between CCTB and the State of Illinois government grant administration.
Maria is a graduate of Northwestern Business College in Chicago.
Out of the office, Maria likes to garden, go for walks and spend time with her family. She is a wife, and a mother of two adult sons.
With the same care and attention Maria gives to animals and her flower garden, she contributes to the growth and ongoing success of Stop Foodborne Illness.
Michelle Hurley was a creative and technology-obsessed child growing up in Miami, Florida. Born into a second-generation Cuban family, Michelle had some intense culture shock when her family moved to North Carolina during her teen years. After high school, Michelle graduated with degrees in History and Dance from the UNC Greensboro.
Michelle’s next chapter brought her to Chicago as a full-time nanny. Not one to sit still for very long, Michelle was soon pursuing a degree through the Elementary Education Master’s Program at Columbia College, Chicago. Her thesis focused on ways to intertwine standard school curriculum with technology. After obtaining her degree, Michelle moved to California and became the founding Computer Science Teacher for K-8 students at her school in Vallejo. Creating, implementing and training others to use technology and project-based learning to make general educational content more engaging for 21st century students. In 2018, Michelle had the good fortune to attend the Design Thinking Institute at The Nueva School where she was given the tools to build on her vision to grow dreams and make a difference anywhere she lands.
Michelle returned to Illinois in July of 2022. Bringing her diverse rolodex of skills, Michelle is expanding STOP’s social media footprint and helping increase the organization’s commitment to strengthen and mature food safety cultures, and sharpen its policy work.
During her free time, Michelle can be found spending time with her husband, doting on her nephew, sewing her own wardrobe, gardening and cooking good food, and hanging out with friends and listening to records.
Stanley E Rutledge is the Director of Constituent Services and Communications.
Stanley was a volunteer with Stop Foodborne Illness before joining the staff in 2011. From the beginning, he’s been tasked with what he calls one of the best jobs at STOP — engaging our treasure trove of constituents!
The individuals and families that are survivors or loved ones of those who have fallen victim to the life-altering experiences of foodborne illness are absolutely the heart of Stop Foodborne Illness. Without them we could never do what we do.
From the great plains of Iowa and Nebraska to the great city of London (UK) to Illinois by way of California, Stanley’s education and work experience has given him opportunities to use his gifts of ideation and adaptability in such diverse fields as design, education, book procurement, farming, office administration, travel, and food service. And now, in the nonprofit sector, he gets to put all that good experience to use.
Using social media, phone and email contacts, snail mail, and word of mouth, Stanley seeks out individuals and families impacted by foodborne illness to offer such services as a place to be seen and a platform to share their foodborne illness story with the people who really need to hear them — basically, anyone who eats.
If you’re a consumer, or work in the food industry, are a government agent or one of many other stakeholders, Stanley has a message for you: Wash your hands!
And watch this.
Stanley helps the website stay current and viable, manages the Food Recall Alerts, and is always looking for ways to engage and assist our staff and volunteers.
If he’s not at his desk, it’s probably best to look for Stanley at the nearest thrift store or yard sale. He avidly listens to music and podcasts, and likes taking long walks and reading short books. He loves a good board game and spending time with family and friends.
With a diverse background in food safety and sustainability, Dr. Vanessa Coffman brings a strong focus on environmental exposures across the food system.
She received her PhD in Environmental Epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a MS from The University of California, Berkeley in Global Public Health and the Environment.
Vanessa has previously worked at STOP as a policy analyst. Since then, she has conducted research for the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization in Sierra Leone (West Africa) examining opportunities and roadblocks to farming in a post-war setting. Additionally, she has done extensive research on occupational and residential exposures from large pork production operations in rural North Carolina, and conducted research based in Denmark examining the association between nitrate in drinking water (largely from food animal operations) and fetal health outcomes.
Dr. Coffman has testified in front of U.S. government officials and has co-authored peer-reviewed papers and helped draft federal regulations.
In her spare time, Vanessa fosters dogs and enjoys travelling with her husband, and trying new foods. And, on slow days, bothering Stanley.
Lily Yasuda is the Manager of the Alliance to Stop Foodborne Illness. A recovering filmmaker, Lily has spent the last five years in the world of nonprofit programs management. She previously served as the Programs Manager for The Alexa Rose Foundation, the Festival Manager for Slamdance Film Festival, and the Festival Director for Boise Contemporary Theater’s BIPOC Playwrights Festival. She loves bringing her strengths as a storyteller and communicator to mission-driven nonprofits, as well as amplifying the lived experience of marginalized communities.
She earned her Bachelor of Arts from Chapman University (California), where she studied screenwriting. She has written and produced multiple award-winning films and has served as a juror for DePaul University’s Premiere Fest (Chicago), NFFTY (Seattle) and the Spirit of Independence Film Festival (Sheffield, UK).
Despite being a proud Idahoan, she is delighted to have carved out a home for herself in the Midwest.
When not at her desk, Lily can usually be found knitting, eating, cooking, or planning out the next meal she can get excited about. She currently resides with her partner and cat in Chicago.
Kelly Lombardo started with Stop Foodborne Illness in 2013 as a Consultant tasked with diligently and thoroughly ensuring compliance with individual state registration requirements. With more than 20+ years of knowledge and experience, Kelly became full time with Stop Foodborne Illness in 2016.
Naturally, her role and responsibilities have expanded, from being lead contact and liaison for conferences in which we are exhibiting or participating, to administering and supervising correspondence with donors, board members, and partner organizations.
Kelly researches, preps, and executes contact for foundation grants, community-supporting associations, and corporate gifting entities.
Additionally, Kelly provides all manner of executive support to Mitzi including making travel arrangements, maintaining calendar oversight, and generally (and specifically!) cultivating clarity and focus.
When she’s not up to her eyes in grants and foundation applications, Kelly loves spending time with daughter, Sammy, and with her family. Kelly reads voraciously, enjoys her neighbors and friends, and always has a good story to share.
Mary McGonigle-Martin is from Murrieta, California. For 28 years she worked as a high school counselor, retiring in 2022. In 2006, after her son contracted a foodborne illness from drinking contaminated raw milk (sold legally in California), McGonigle-Martin experienced first-hand the overall lack of knowledge regarding early detection and treatment of such sicknesses.
In the years since, she has testified as an expert witness against raw milk bills in multiple states. She’s also spoken before the National Environmental Health Association, the Nevada Food Safety Task Force, the Association of Food and Drug Officials, and the American Veterinary Medical Association.
“I learned about STOP and its work only after my son was ill and hospitalized for two months,” McGonigle-Martin said. “This organization, and the work they do is critical to individuals and families dealing with the aftermath of a foodborne illness. The emotional and psychological consequences for those affected needs to be addressed. I look forward to helping to fill that gap.”
Mike Taylor (fellow board member) notes that families like McGonigle-Martin’s are a key factor in driving awareness. “Mary and her family have lived through the harrowing days and nights of watching their child suffer because of a foodborne illness. It is because of stories like hers that we continue our work,” Taylor said.
Dr. Ben Chapman is an associate professor and food safety extension specialist at North Carolina State University. As a teenager, a Saturday afternoon viewing of the classic cable movie, Outbreak, sparked his interest in pathogens and public health.
With the goal of less foodborne illness, his group designs, implements, and evaluates food safety strategies, messages, and media from farm-to-fork.
Through reality-based research, Chapman investigates behaviors and creates interventions aimed at amateur and professional food handlers, managers, and organizational decision-makers; the gate keepers of safe food.
Ben co-hosts a biweekly podcast called Food Safety Talk contributes to @barfblog and tries to further engage folks online through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and, maybe not surprisingly, Pinterest.

Mary Heersink is a food safety advocate, and the author of E. Coli O157: The True Story of a Mother’s Battle with a Killer Microbe. In it, she recounts the harrowing experience of her son Damion, who in 1992 at the age of 11 ate contaminated hamburger meat at a Boy Scout outing and spent six-and-a-half weeks near death in pediatric intensive care.
Despite Damion’s ultimate victory over E. coli O157:H7, Mrs. Heersink found her confidence in our food safety systems shaken. Her encounters with ineffective government agencies led her to co-found S.T.O.P. (Stop Foodborne Illness) in the aftermath of the Pacific Northwest E.coli epidemic in 1993.
Mrs. Heersink has served on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. She has also testified before the U.S. Congress and has presented at scientific meetings, both nationally and internationally.
Mrs. Heersink currently serves on the Advisory Board of the Masters of Global Health Programme, a joint initiative between McMaster University in Canada, Maastricht University in the Netherlands, Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India, and Thammasat University in Thailand, University College of Southeast Norway, and Universidad del Rosario in Colombia.
She also serves on the Board of Visitors for the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Medicine.
She has served on Boards of Directors for numerous nonprofit and civic organizations in her community of Dothan, Alabama, including Boys and Girls Clubs of Dothan, Wiregrass Museum of Art, Houston Academy, and Landmark Park.
Mrs. Heersink has been married for 40 years to Dr. Marnix Heersink, an ophthalmologist. Trained as a visual artist, she is currently illustrating a volume of ophthalmic muscle surgery.
Dr. and Mrs. Heersink have six children and seven grandchildren. Mrs. Heersink splits her time between Alabama and the Netherlands, where the couple renovated a 16th-century national monument in collaboration with a historical preservation foundation.
Kiley Doherty survived a foodborne outbreak in 2013 (that occurred in her hometown of Phoenix, AZ). That was the catalyst by which Kiley became interested in food safety and epidemiology. After being infected with E. coli O157:H7, and subsequently developing HUS, Kiley almost died. Pursuing a career in public health seemed like the obvious career choice. Among other life goals, she hopes to raise awareness about the severity of foodborne illness and reduce the number of outbreaks.
Kiley received her Bachelors of Science in Biology and a minor in Biochemistry from the University of Arizona in 2020. In May 2022, Kiley graduated with her Masters in Public Health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from the University of California, Berkeley. She enjoyed her time as a golden bear and completed her capstone project: Evaluating Risk Factors Associated with the Development of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Infected Children: A Systematic Review.
Following her MPH, Kiley was the 2022-2023 Dave Theno Food Safety Fellow for Stop Foodborne Illness. She enjoyed researching long-term health outcomes of STEC-HUS and working alongside food safety leaders. She is now a California Epidemiologic Investigation Service (Cal-EIS) fellow, and is working with Marin County Health and Human Services.
She is excited to continue to be a part of STOP as a constituent advocate member of the board. When she’s not working, Kiley likes to surf and hike throughout the Bay Area, spend time with friends, and search for the best bowl of ramen.
