Moon became interested in health inequality as a child.[1] She was one of five children born in the United States to South Korean immigrant parents.[2] Moon studied history at Yale University.[1] The North Korean famine prompted Moon to study international affairs.[2] She moved to Princeton University for graduate studies, where she specialized in international relations, and Harvard University to study public policy.[1] Her doctoral research considered neoliberalism and global health.[3] Moon joined the Peace Corps, where she worked on public health education in South Africa.[1] She started working at Médecins Sans Frontières shortly after graduating, when HIV was becoming more prevalent and access to treatment was rare.[1]
