Bio
Eric McHugh☀️🌙
I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Nick since starting at the Carmen Group Incorporated in September. Since then, not only have I witnessed Nick consistently overachieve but he has constantly demonstrated both the ability and willingness to learn. Nick proved he could adapt to complex policy issues and was consistently motivated and passionate about his work. His honesty, determination, ambition & adaptability are commendable and aspirational; I’m excited to see where he goes next.
