WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“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 "I’ve built a career creating pop culture moments that cut through the noise—Carmel is that kind of storyteller. She doesn’t just "do communications"; she architects narrative power. Whether crafting prose or leading teams through pivotal moments, Carmel brings creativity, rigor, and deep collaboration. She amplifies every message and multiplies impact with clarity, structure, and heart." Drew Dixon, Producer, Writer, and Former VP of A&R at Arista Records “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 “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

Profile​
 

I build strategic partnerships, shape communications strategies, and lead advocacy campaigns to confront injustice, shift narratives, and amplify collective power. Grounded in a human-centered approach and fueled by technology, my work supports historically disempowered communities in reclaiming their agency and shaping their own futures. With a strong foundation in social impact communications and training across media, technology, and business, I connect people to the tools, knowledge, and relationships they need to live free, secure, and thriving lives.
