'I was lucky enough to have Caroline as my PR and events manager for my run for a Senate seat in NSW. Caroline was not just endlessly hardworking and cheerful , she was incredibly efficient and creative, always seeking out new publicity opportunities and events which she would then proceed to organise from scratch in an incredibly short time. Her contacts are second to none. Caroline is also an insightful MC and facilitator. She is particularly expert & effective in the context of the arts and of aged care. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her.’
