Carrie's family and friends are everything to her. She loves music. She loves dancing. She sings in the Detroit Concert Choir. She likes ending short sentences with periods. Actually, that's not true at all. It's a new thing she tried today.

Carrie graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Literature and extensive coursework in Computer Engineering. She is a lover of animals, art, music, culture and language. Because of her love for music, Carrie joined the Detroit Concert Choir in the spring of 2006 and was extremely excited to discover an opportunity to compete in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in North Wales.

Carrie wants to find a way to change the world, albeit cheesy, and she hopes that her love of architecture and the environment can symbiotically lead her in new directions in her life. She is an avid beer drinker and travels to some of the best beer fests in the U.S. - none internationally - yet. Carrie currently works at Enterprise Fleet Management in Farmington Hills and spends her free time (what free time??) dancing and singing, and taking art, drafting, photography and architecture classes. She resides with her fascinating boyfriend, Nick, in Ferndale, Michigan, one of the hippest, yet most conscientious cities around.

Square fact: I signed up to have dictionary.com send a "word of the day" to my email every morning.

Cool fact: I have sung at Meadowbrook with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and at the Fox Theater with Kenny Rogers (actually, maybe this is a square fact as well...).
