Bio
Meghan Hedrick
Carissa Chen has my highest recommendation in the fields of public relations, communications, and nonprofit development. Her work was completed on time, in alignment with our brand, and to the highest standard of quality. She understands and implements suggestions, often returning with something better than I envisioned despite her heavy workload. She created frameworks that will continue to increase our organization's capacity for years to come.
Lawrence Kopp
Carissa was one of the best interns we ever had here at TASC. She is totally committed to and passionate about advocacy and nonprofit work. She was dedicated and hard working. She was detailed and thorough. And most importantly she has an amazing personality and got along well with everyone here on our team.
