Heather Moulton received her undergraduate degree from Tufts University, and her MS/MPH and DrPH degrees from the Mailman School of Public Health’s Division of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University where her focus was on aging with life-long chronic disability. Previously, she held a full-time position in a graduate program at Mercy College in occupational therapy teaching gerontology and research courses, and was Research Coordinator for thesis research. She was also Research Director at a community-based organization where she conducted applied social gerontology research.
