WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“If you partner with Carmel, she will delight you. There’s nothing she can’t do. Carmel excels at strategic communications, media relations, digital strategy, op ed writing, training, and more. In particular, her meeting facilitation skills are the best I’ve seen. People love working with Carmel.” Margot Friedman, Principal of Dupont Circle Communications “Pryor Engagement's insightful approach and exceptional work in crafting our new Communications Roadmap transformed our view of the role of communications from what we once saw as a mere promotional tool into a strategic pillar for demonstrating our impact. Not only did they bring a wealth of knowledge and rich experience in our field to the table, but their collaborative spirit and enthusiasm infused the entire process with both joy and purpose. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Pryor Engagement and anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with them again in the future.” Kavita Khandekar Chopra, Managing Director, Strategy & Engagement, re:power “For a long time, I have wanted to translate my scholarly expertise into a form that was more accessible to the general public, and have had a bit of anxiety transitioning from academic to public intellectual. Carmel's skill in translating my voice and research into engaging op-eds that resonated with readers was impressive. Her ability to simplify complex ideas into clear, concise prose was evident in every piece. She is an excellent collaborator who balances the needs of any particular genre with the voice and intent of the author. Carmel's enthusiastic approach to collaboration and commitment to excellence make her invaluable to any publication or individual seeking impactful and compelling content.” Reiko Hillyer, Associate Professor of History at Lewis & Clark College and author of A Wall Is Just a Wall: The Permeability of the Prison in the Twentieth-Century United States
Professional
Profile
I build strategic partnerships, craft communications strategies, and spearhead advocacy campaigns to tackle social injustices, drive narrative change, and amplify people power. By leveraging technology and human-centered approaches, I support historically disempowered and oppressed communities in creating their agency. With a strong background in social impact communications and education in media, technology, and business, I connect people with the information, tools, and networks they need to achieve freedom, security, and a thriving life.
Innate
Abilities
Adapter: I embrace variety and I'm able to channel uncertainty; I thrive in ambiguity and enjoy doing substantially differing tasks over the course of days and weeks.
Includer: I love to be the glue between different groups of people and take action to create inclusive environments, especially on a team.
Self-Starter: I am autonomous by nature and highly motivated; I need little or no direction or management in order to be effective.
Storyteller: I have a natural ability to take the details of a story and weave them into a compelling narrative; I'm able to captivate audiences through verbal or written media.
