Carrie started her dental career in Orange County California at the age of 17. She was hired as a dental assistant for a new doctor straight out of dental school and fell in love with the dental field. In 1998 she graduated from Sinclair College's EFDA course in Dayton Ohio, completing her state boards later that year. After settling in Arizona, her dental focus shifted to education. She worked for over 12 years with Maricopa Community College District dental programs, and in 2017 accepted the newly formed position “Coordinator for Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries." Carrie was the first Certified EFDA in the State of Arizona. She helped lead the first graduating class of EFDA students and under her guidance, Phoenix College accounts for the most Certified EFDAs in the State of Arizona.
