After graduating from Penn State University with a degree in Elementary Education and traveling across the country she decided to head west to Arizona.

Outside of gaining her degree in education Carie worked for six years as an assistant teacher in a Christian Daycare in Pennsylvania. She also held part-time positions in childcare throughout her college years. After experiencing Montessori for the first time at Khalsa and gaining a passion for the Montessori method she made the choice to become trained as a Montessori Lead Teacher.
