Carolyn now brings her journalistic passion to her work as Vice President of Development for Idaho Business for Education, advocating for education initiatives critical to the state.
In this episode, we take a nostalgic journey through the transformation of Boise's television scene, celebrating the golden era when Carolyn graced the screens and navigated the challenging balance between career and family life. As the media landscape shifted from the pre-digital world to today's streaming and social media era, Carolyn reflects on the industry's evolution and shares insights into the powerful role of media and education in shaping the community. Idaho Business for Education stands as a testament to these efforts, elevating the voices of businesses in shaping educational policy and fostering economic growth.
