Maia Moore is a Senior Program Officer within the Education Unit at Partners of the Americas. Since February 2021, she has supported U.S. Department of State-funded programs that promote professional and personal growth among people in the U.S. and Latin America and the Caribbean including project funding, peer-to-peer learning, and international exchange.
As an exchange alum herself, Maia grew through the power of cross-cultural engagement. Maia’s youth exchange in Mexico propelled a life-long pursuit of Latin American studies and Spanish language learning. She received her BA in Psychology & Spanish and MA in Teaching from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. In college, she studied abroad in Argentina, and after graduating returned for two years as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant and Coordinator.
Committed to a whole-person approach, Maia values the right to an education and sees international education as a huge asset to an individual’s (and in turn community) growth. She enjoys working with Partners on youth development and exchange programming to engage global citizens in harnessing their passion and potential to make positive change.
