Jackie McCarthy
If you want something done, go to Cara. Her work is instrumental to our success and will put in the work necessary to deliver a quality and polished product. Not only is Cara an excellent writer, she is reliable and responsive. I’m very grateful to work with Cara on a weekly basis!
Robert Plotkin
Cara worked as a writer for my blog, Technology for Mindfulness. She was highly skilled, responsive, thoughtful, and professional, and a pleasure to work with. She wrote compelling articles about technology and mindfulness that helped move the blog to the next level, with very little supervision. She was also proactive in contributing great ideas for how to improve the blog and even the organization as a whole, and was attentive to time and cost. Cara went above and beyond by taking on the management of our website redesign, which involved completely overhauling the site's structure to match our new direction. I was able to place my complete confidence in her for taking responsibility for keeping the project moving, and the resulting website was amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I can highly recommend Cara as a writer and project manager without any reservations.
