Carla was the Executive Director of the Australian Market & Social Research Society (1999-2000). She was responsible for increasing membership by 12 per cent in a 12-month period and commencing a review of professional and industry training, which led to the introduction of the QPMR.

From 1993 to 1997 Carla was a consultant at Education Image, contributing to some of the most interesting and complex communication programs for the higher education, vocational education and training, AIDS education, health promotion and workplace sectors.
