As she starts grad school in New York, Caroline Peri reflects on her time in Baltimore

Peri, who worked with many startups through the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore's TechConnect program, is studying urban planning at NYU this fall.

Caroline Peri helped organize the Reinvent Transit Hackathon at Betamore in 2013. That’s where she met Chris Whong, and the two talked about NYU’s Wagner School of Public Service.
