Carolyn Moore, MPH
Director of Policy & Advocacy
What I Do: I developed and now lead SPOON's advocacy strategy, which aims to ensure that all children have the nutrition and feeding support they need to grow and thrive. I work with coalitions, stakeholders, and local partners to promote policies, practices, and investments related to inclusive nutrition, early child development, and family care.
Background: I have 15 years of experience implementing global health programs, advocacy initiatives, and public-private partnerships. My work has focused on key issues facing children around the world, including health workforce training, digital health, water, sanitation, and hygiene, and community-based development. I received my Master's in Public Health from Tulane University, with a focus on Maternal and Child Health and Health Education.
Why I SPOON: The children we work with are too often excluded from the systems that should be serving them. SPOON can't reach all 250 million children with disabilities or children without family care directly through our programs, and that's why advocacy is so important. My work allows me to team up with leaders and caregivers to change systems to fulfill children's rights.
