RunSwitch leadership met Kaylee while she worked for Congressman Brett Guthrie in Kentucky and continued working with her in various capacities until RunSwitch PR was formed in 2012. Carnahan joined the initial team and has quickly risen to a leadership position. She has gone above and beyond, exceeding expectations at every turn in her career and was promoted to Vice President at the age of 29. A mentor for new staff, Carnahan’s management style has made her an integral part of the agency’s continued growth.
“I’ve not met a better person in my professional travels than Kaylee. She is never outworked and always goes above and beyond for clients,” Jennings said. “She has a big heart and always strives to do what is right. I couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishment. I am honored to call her colleague and friend.”
