“I’ve known Carmen for over 20 years and she has always been outstanding. She was a student in my APR campaigns class and performed beautifully. She was especially enthusiastic about her work and in dealing with others. She was a huge reason why her group performed so well. Carmen has a unique ability to inspire people to take action. She was passionate about her projects and made others more excited by example. These days, Carmen inspires people as she authors quality articles and stories about business and charities in the Birmingham area. She has always had an interest in philanthropy and helping others. I’m proud to have taught her and to consider her a friend. She is quite special, indeed.”
