Previously in the tech startup space, Carolyn helped gaming and e-commerce companies expand their global reach and optimize advertising spend. Carolyn witnessed inherent inequalities in economic access within the tech industry and became passionate about how community and tech partnerships drive solutions.Carolyn holds a Master’s in City Planning from MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning and a Bachelor of Arts from Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs.
