I have worked with Carina on two projects over a two-year period and I would highly recommend her. I have found Carina to be very approachable, professional, organised and focused, with excellent time management skills. It was a pleasure to work with Carina on these projects and her efficiency and ability to grasp complex concepts quickly and tailor them to meet the needs of the audience were really impressive. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Carina on future projects, as she is easy to work with and was a real asset in the projects we worked together on.

I have no hesitation in recommending Carina for her talent, trustworthiness and dedication. During her time at CPL, Carina played leading roles on two of our most high-profile accounts, creating consistently excellent content, in print and online. These have both gone from strength to strength over the past few years, winning a number of industry awards. The awards are not only testament to her journalistic abilities and nose for a story, they also reflect her ability to deliver great content that works for the client and its audiences. This willingness to understand clients’ communications priorities and strategies – combined with a genuine desire to deliver a high-quality end product – has made her a particularly invaluable employee for CPL.

Many agencies and contractors promise to integrate with their client’s business and culture, in order to deliver on strategic aims, but few actually do. Carina is one of those few and was an invaluable member of the communications team who understood both the daily challenges and the bigger piece. She is highly dedicated and professional and was liked and trusted by key stakeholders and personalities, both internally and externally.
— Chris Fay, former communications manager at CTSI

 
I have worked with Carina across a variety of editorial and digital focused projects. She has always been a huge asset to these as she displays the ability to learn about complex landscapes and guide the direction of the subject at hand in a reasoned and well structured manner. She can think strategically about how to communicate effectively to a variety of audiences in a clear, concise and creative manner. She also has a wicked sense of humour that makes tackling sometimes dry subjects a lot of fun without compromising on her professionalism.
— Beth Stark, product designer, Redgate

 
I worked with Carina for many years within a fast-paced and demanding environment. She was not only a creative and adaptable writer and editor, but also a very professional and drama-free colleague, who took to every challenge with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of enthusiasm.

I worked with Carina for 18 months and found her to be an absolute professional journalist, with a good eye for detail and a keen nose for a story. She quickly got up-to-speed with complex subjects, and was a thorough editor and brilliant writer. She established strong working relationships with clients, and always saw a project through with enthusiasm to ensure it was the best it could be.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Carina at CPL for 8 years. When working with myself and my department, she always gave a clear, succinct brief to every design project, and her excellent organisation and project management skills ensured we were on time with our delivery. Carina’s attitude to work is always excellent and she always puts 100% of herself into every project and ensures client needs are met throughout. She is passionate and committed to her work and her clients.
