Carrie is a lover of all things good--the gospel, the outdoors, and food! She runs an inspirational Instagram account and a food account. She and her husband have been married 24 years and have 3 kiddos that inspire her to be better every single day. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Family Sciences and has also completed the requirements for becoming a seminary teacher.
As a teenager, her older brother passed away in a tragic fishing accident, and then a few years ago her little brother passed away due to the flu. When Carrie was in her early twenties, she was in a life-threatening automobile accident. Due to these experiences, and many other life lessons, Carrie has felt inspired to write a book on remaining faithful despite life's obstacles, which she is now working on publishing. Her goal in life is to share her testimony of finding happiness no matter the opposition! With this goal in mind, she has spoken at BYU Idaho's Education Week two years running, and at Retreat for Girls. She is now more than thrilled to speak at the Boise Idaho Institute!
