A passion for working with exceptional children began at a young age for Carrie. Starting at the age of 9, Carrie worked with students on the autism spectrum and continued tutoring students with learning disabilities throughout her academic career. From these early experiences, a career was inspired. With 26 years in education, as a classroom teacher, special educator and Director of Pupil Services, Carrie is well known for her ability to engage the most challenging learner. Most recently, Carrie has been working in the capacity of RTI consultant to a number of Maine school districts helping them to achieve substantial growth for students in the area of literacy.
