Hello! My name is Ms. Carrie

Let me tell you about myself!

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an AMS Montessori Elementary certification from Seton Montessori Institute. These experiences laid the foundation for my 14+ year journey as an educator, Montessori guide, and tutor in a variety of settings—including in-person, virtual, and hybrid learning environments.

Over the years, I’ve supported children in building confidence, independence, and a deep understanding of core academic skills through a hands-on, individualized approach using Montessori materials.

On a personal note, I have been married for 20 years and am the proud mother of two teenagers. I am originally from Illinois, and have lived in Midlothian, Virginia for 8 years. Outside of teaching, I enjoy cooking, sipping on hot coffee, spending time in nature, and caring for my family and pets.

I look forward to connecting with you!
