"I had the pleasure of welcoming Carrie as a guest speaker to my graduate level corporate communications class focused on media relations. She is a frequent guest speaker at my classes, and for good reason. The students really connect with her, and they enjoy the content she shares. In fact, she's always noted as one of the favorites in terms of guest speakers that come to class.​ Carrie focuses not only on the day to day work she does, but also the strategy behind it. Having worked both on the client and client-service side, she has a unique perspective to share. And, she speaks about her career path, and lessons learned along the way, which the students particularly appreciate. I always feel lucky when Carrie agrees to present , and I hope to have her back next year!"
