what others say about working with me
The positive outcomes and seamless execution throughout the campaign have exceeded my expectations
Working with Cari on an organization-wide impact initiative running from January to June 2024 has been nothing short of extraordinary. It was immediately evident that Cari was both exceptionally talented, highly capable and detail oriented. Her ability to swiftly integrate and work with my teams across the organization from TV, digital, social media, content, programming, education, creative services, communications and the station's ad agency was remarkable. The results were impressive and nearly every team member commented about her strong performance.
Cari adapted to the multifaceted nature of this campaign and excelled at navigating and enhancing each component. Her skill in figuring things out as the project moved along and delivering impactful results aligned perfectly with the vision we had for this project. Within moments of meeting Cari, I knew she was the ideal fit for this campaign. The positive outcomes and seamless execution throughout the campaign have exceeded my expectations. I am enthusiastic about the possibility of collaborating with Cari on future projects and highly recommend her expertise.

Her project management is critical to the continued success of these initiatives
"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Cari on multiple statewide projects through her work with Pennsylvania PBS over the last 5 years. One of Cari’s greatest strengths is the ability to engage all stakeholders in a project and keep them focused on the outcomes, while ensuring the smallest of details are handled. Our recent work with the PA Department of Education (PDE) and PA Intermediate Units (PAIU) took our work to a new scale as Cari project managed and coordinated nearly a dozen different stakeholders in elevating existing resources, while also launching a brand new technology project in the commonwealth. Her project management is critical to the continued success of these initiatives."

Cari has become a valued and trusted partner on our leadership teams
"Since meeting her in May 2020, Cari is one of my first calls when I’m faced with a new project but little direction. Her professionalism helps me sort through the “noise” and develop a challenging yet attainable forward-facing strategy. If circumstances change, Cari’s not afraid to shift her focus or role in a project while still working toward a positive outcome. I’ve often found aspects of her project management strategies seeping into my other work beyond our initial Pennsylvania PBS and PAIU collaboration. Cari has become a valued and trusted partner on our leadership teams. "

Cari understands stakeholders' communication needs and styles
"I first worked with Cari on Battling Opioids, a Pennsylvania PBS public media initiative, for two years. We have worked together for a further two years on statewide initiatives across Pennsylvania. I have observed how Cari brings stakeholders together for purposeful discussion, seeking input from all, with meaningful results for all. Cari understands stakeholders' communication needs and styles and responds respectfully and appropriately, actively seeking feedback and questions to ensure clarity."

One of her superpowers is her talent for synthesizing diverse conversations
"Cari and I have worked together for more than five years to support the Pennsylvania PBS collaborative group. Her project management skills, including building stakeholder consensus across multiple organizations, maintaining amazing attention to detail, and sustaining an unrelenting focus on results, are superb. One of her superpowers is her talent for synthesizing diverse conversations, making sense of the data, and communicating effectively to all stakeholders. Her passion for public media in all its manifestations (broadcast, web, podcasts, journalism, social media, etc.) is appreciated by all who work with her, from station colleagues to national organizations, corporate and foundation funders, and state agencies."
