Samhita Reddy, MPA
Director of Communications
What I Do: I lead SPOON's communications efforts by sharing compelling data and stories that bring our critical mission to life. I manage our print and digital content to engage and grow our community of supporters and help them understand our impact on children and families worldwide.
Background: I received my Master's in Public Administration from New York University's Wagner School of Public Service, and have spent the last 15 years managing programs and fundraising for organizations that are committed to leveling the playing field for marginalized communities. See my LinkedIn profile.
Why I SPOON: When I learned about SPOON's mission, I incorrectly assumed that our target populations-children with disabilities and those living outside of family care-were a very small sliver of the world. I had no idea that this issue affected 250 million children worldwide, and that no other organization is addressing it the way we do. I enjoy being part of a team that's making a difference in a way that no one else is.
