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]

[edit]

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]
