She spent 22 of those years at Milton Academy, where she wore many hats, including grade-level dean, facilitator of A.C.T. spaces (affinity, culture, and training groups), DEIJ committee member, coach, creator of identity curriculum, faculty mentor, and advisor.

She believes that as educators, we have a responsibility to include all students in achieving their full potential, feeling challenged, being empowered by their identity, and participating effectively in a diverse society.
Carrie recently moved to New Bedford and is enjoying exploring what the Greater NB area has to offer. She is also a proud mom to her 13-year-old son.
