about me

With my extensive background in marketing and experience leading a non-profit elementary enrichment program, I bring a unique blend of creativity, project management skills, leadership and editing expertise to the table. From creating engaging content and marketing campaigns to managing operations and fostering educational growth, I’ve built a solid foundation in storytelling, editing and innovation. Whether it's refining content for clarity or turning ideas into impactful results, I thrive on bringing projects to life.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned the importance of collaboration, adaptability and motivating others to achieve great results. If you’re looking for a creative marketing professional passionate about making a difference, I’d love to connect!

What People Are Saying…

  • “Carina reliably and enthusiastically supported our team as Creative Manager. It is not hyperbole to say that with every question asked, Carina would find an answer, and for every issue, she would cheerfully be there to give aid. Demonstrating tremendous leadership, Carina proved highly knowledgeable about the industry and passionate about helping the team follow best practices to great success.“

    Tanner Smith | Graphic Designer | Hudson Automotive Group

  • “Carina's contributions to our program surpass her job responsibilities on a daily basis. By far, Carina's greatest strength is her consistent, positive demeanor and outlook. In the 12 years that I have worked with Carina, I can honestly say that she has come in each day with a smile on her face. She is friendly and fun to be around, and her positive nature is contagious. She brings out the best in our staff and the children who our program serves. Parents of children in our program feel very comfortable speaking with Carina, and know that their child is in a warm, nurturing environment when in Carina's care.”

    Toni Marie Davis | Program Director | Norfolk School Age Chid Care

  • “Carina's creativity allows her to develop programs that are fun, foster imagination and teach children to capture and express these elements. More importantly, she is able to articulate her ideas well, both verbally and in writing, and encourages students to do the same. In our summer programming, one of the more popular classes designed by Carina is Bookmaking and Creative Writing. Last summer, this program was full of kids eager to express themselves. Before this program was half way finished, parents were asking for another week because their children loved the class and because of the learning elements embodied in this class. This is high praise for a summer program.”

    Ann Proto | Recreation Director | Town of Norfolk

  • “Carina is a good writer, an able thinker, and an avid reader. A joy to be with, she is bright, cooperative, and hardworking. As a well-published, nationally recognized authority on English literature, I can safely rank Carina in the top 90% of all students whom I have taught at Bridgewater State University and Harvard and Georgetown Universities. She will do so very well in all her future endeavors.“

    Thomas M. Curley | Professor of English | Bridgewater State University
