Heritage Foundation Leadership for America

Nicola Moore is Assistant Director of the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Moore advances Heritage's conservative solutions to economic challenges through research and analysis, focused primarily on the rising cost of the major entitlements - Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Moore also reviews publications on a wide range of economic issues and oversees specific projects within Heritage's domestic and economic policy center. One such project is the Federal Revenue and Spending Book of Charts, which provides a wealth of downloadable and shareable graphics on government spending and taxes.

She previously was a state policy analyst at Americans for Prosperity, a Washington-based grassroots group that advocates free markets and limited government. Before that, she served as education director of Students for Saving Social Security, which mobilizes young Americans to the cause of policy reform. She researched entitlement policy and wrote for college audiences on the subject of personal retirement accounts.

Moore holds bachelor's degrees in economics and philosophy from Boston University and a master's degree in philosophy of public policy from London School of Economics, all with honors. A resident of Washington, she is pursuing a master's of business administration at Georgetown University.
