This role involves working with area and statewide partners such as food pantries, senior congregate meal sites, senior centers, grocery stores, farmers markets, and more to improve nutritional food access for older adults. Caitlin also serves on various community coalitions where the focus is making policy, system, and environmental changes so the healthy choice is the easy choice for everyone. Prior to this role, Caitlin served as a Community Nutrition Instructor with MSU Extension where they worked with learners of all ages in programs such as gardening with preschoolers, to cooking with teenagers, and helping adults and seniors learn how to eat healthy on a budget.
