Working with Kara at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago was terrific. Kara is a savvy marketer, wonderful client partner and best of all, a genuine pleasure to work with. She possesses the right balance of strategic thinking and tactical know-how. These skills, coupled with her warmth and sense of humor, make her a valuable asset. I highly recommend Kara and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again!
