Carrie attended Ben-Hill Irwin Technology School, and received a diploma in Telecommunications in 1996. She worked in this field for about 4 years around the Warner Robins/Macon area before deciding to pursue a career with more people interaction.
Carrie sought employment with Dr. Lina Harper’s, M.D., office, which gave her a sense of fulfillment. The most important part about working with patients to her, is always making them feel like family and not a chart number. “Kindness, humility, and compassion go a long way, in this world, and it is completely !!!” says Carrie.
After 5 ½ years, Carrie left Dr. Harper’s office to help care for her father in his last years. She feels blessed to have shared that time with him. Her father had many health issues including hearing loss. Some days writing on notebook paper was their only way of communication.
