Tess Iding is the Communications Specialist for the Coalition for Children, Youth, and Families. She is one of many touched by adoption, as her family adopted a little girl so Tess could share life with a younger sister. She was excited to join an organization where the mission was to support families who were similarly affected by foster care, kinship care, and adoption.

Tess holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Arts and Political Science, with Honors in the Liberal Arts, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She also earned an undergraduate certificate in Gender and Women’s Studies. Tess has been a member of the Coalition team since June 2021.
