As an undergraduate student at Willamette University, Caroline Cahill monitored more than 40 Japanese international students’ health profiles, promoting healthy lifestyles and food choices. As a graduate student at Emory University, Caroline worked with the Atlanta Community Food Bank and coordinated with various partner agencies to learn about the barriers these organizations encounter when trying to provide nutritious foods to their clients. She has completed three separate community needs assessments in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. From these CNAs, she established goals and secured funding for new child hunger (school pantry pilot) and multi-dimensional community health initiatives (rural health clinic outreach combining diabetes education with healthy food boxes).
