My name is Cara. I’m a strategic communications professional, advocate, and award-winning journalist.

I bring 20+ years of experience as a dynamic communications leader, with expertise in brand management, organizational change, and campaign management. Specializing in delivering customized, research-based campaigns that drive growth, I have extensive experience collaborating creatively across teams to reach the right audience and deliver thumb-stopping content. With a proven, trusted reputation as an advisor to senior leadership, I partner with key stakeholders in the areas of effective communication, key business messaging, and employee engagement to inspire and energize employees.

My writing has appeared in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Florida Times-Union, and my nonfiction essays have appeared in Fragments of Ourselves and Start with Welcome. I’m part of two fantastic writing communities, the Wisconsin Writers Association and the Oshkosh Area Writers Club.

As an avid hiker, I’ve trekked the foothills of the Himalayas, the rift zone of Kīlauea, and the breathtaking sequoia trees of the Giant Forest, but being a wife and mom is my greatest adventure.
