Lull earned her master’s in business administration from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs and her bachelor’s in education and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

“I am thrilled to serve as Rainbow Services’ new CEO as our talented team works to end the cycle of domestic violence by providing education, advocacy, shelter, and support to those affected by domestic violence. I light up when speaking about my work in the nonprofit sector because I am passionate about making a positive impact for others.” said Lull.

This year, Rainbow Services celebrates 40 years of service to the community and the  accomplishments and victories it has achieved on behalf of survivor rights. Since its inception, Rainbow has served its community, offering safe refuge and support to survivors. As leaders in the field, Rainbow continues its work of expanding safe housing and resources for survivors “because everyone deserves a safe home.” Rainbow has recently been recognized as “Nonprofit of the Year” by the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce for outstanding work in the domestic violence service field and for going above and beyond expectations in serving the community.
