Carol is an inspiring and creative person who will bring a positive outlook to any project. There is no problem too small and Carol is fantastic at breaking down a challenge to identify the best solution and approach. She truly brings others with her in the development and implementation of work, always with the friendliest and down to earth approach. I have enjoyed working with her so much and would advise anyone who gets the chance to take it. You will not just get brilliant results but have fun along the way!
