Tammy Teske, MBA

What I Do: I oversee our brilliant program team as well as our international programs, and cultivate existing and new relationships with strategic partners.

Background: With over 20 years as an international emergency relief and development professional, I have worked to empower vulnerable communities and create resilient, just, and vibrant societies in over 40 countries around the globe. See more about my work with Mercy Corps and Medical Teams International on my LinkedIn profile.

Why I SPOON: Throughout my career I have been committed to working on behalf of vulnerable individuals, supporting their capacity to advocate for themselves, their families, and their communities while building resilience to better enable them to navigate future threats. Children living, or at risk of living, outside of family care and children with disabilities are some of the most vulnerable, and they are often left out of essential nutrition and care services. I am inspired by the dedication of SPOON to improve nutrition and feeding for these children and advocate for their rights and equality.
