As a field analyst with the Open Technology Institute, Kistine Carolan works with community partners in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the stimulus-package funded buildout of 77 computer labs and digital training classes across the city.

Formerly an organizer with Maternity Care Coalition, Ms. Carolan has promoted policies to improve maternal and child health.
