Carrie has been an educator since the 1990s, serving in the public, charter, and independent sectors. Her youngest of three sons attended a Montessori pre-school, which first opened her eyes to the brilliance of Maria Montessori. From 2010-2015, Carrie served as CEO at the Philadelphia Montessori School, where she learned first-hand the value of a Montessori education for all children. During the summer of 2019, Carrie earned her Administrator's credential from the American Montessori Society. In her free time, Carrie enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, fitness, and building and reupholstering furniture!
