After six years of military service, Carrie and her family moved to Orlando, FL to be closer to family. Carrie began a new career in the Senior Living industry in 2004.

Here her commitment to educate and link seniors to services and resources from which they could benefit grew over the years. Carrie’s passion is to help seniors feel safe, secure, and honored in their environment. Carrie is an active member at First Presbyterian Church of Orlando and enjoys spending time with her family.
