“As editor of Carnegie Mellon University’s CFA Magazine, Cally was an integral part of the publication coming to fruition and staying on course. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and a multi-talented editor in the best sense – one who not only managed unexpected issues, streamlined internal processes and collaborated with CMU’s internal team of communicators, project managers and designers, but also served as a contributing writer on cover and feature stories. Her attention to detail, thoughtful approach to subjects and sources, and ability to manage the diverse projects she oversaw are wonderful assets that we just don't find every day. I could not have completed CFA Magazine without her.”
— Pam Wigley, Assistant Dean for Communications, College of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University
