Caroline also worked at Yale University at Elevate: A Policy Lab to Elevate Mental Health and Disrupt Poverty, where she focused on maternal mental health policies and the Women’s Business Development Council in Stamford where she helped provide entrepreneurial, financial, and professional development training programs for women across Connecticut.
Prior to that, Caroline worked at the Department of Homeland Security, serving as a special assistant in the Office of the Secretary, a policy analyst in the Office of the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, and as a director of special projects in the Counterterrorism Coordinator’s Office at Homeland Security.
