“Cara supported several communications efforts for Urban Community AgriNomics (UCAN) during our partnership with Triangle Land Conservancy, but her most impactful was the article announcing the land transfer — a truly historic moment for our organization — which she captured with care, depth, and heart. Cara’s writing leaves a lasting impact because she understands how to highlight not only the facts, but the feeling and meaning behind them. She was professional, intentional, and a joy to work with throughout the process.”
Aniya Bourne, Assistant Director of Content & Marketing, UCAN

Ms. Lewis did an outstanding job as the very first communication and marketing specialist in the Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism Management. A new position created in the middle of a pandemic and a time when accurate, frequent, and effective communications were essential for the department to navigate an uncharted landscape, Ms. Lewis embraced this challenge with a wealth of expertise and professionalism, and not only quickly established the position as a critical part of the department’s operations, but helped advance the position of the department both on and beyond NC State’s campus.

Engaged from day one, Cara helped Social Venture Partners International (SVPI) create and implement a smart communications strategy with a variety of programs designed to promote our services and support to a growing network of venture philanthropists. Working with a small staff and limited resources, Cara brought original ideas and terrific energy to developing tools and techniques for local Social Venture Partners (SVP) organizations and improving communication efforts with our members. As CEO, I found Cara’s communications counsel to be timely and insightful and her work ethic is excellent. Cara is a true professional – she is also lots of fun!”
