Carrie brings a diverse background to Silverado, including 18 years of experience as a surgical nurse, 15 years in leadership roles and five years as a traveling nurse educator. She holds a BGS in Human Development and Family Life from the University of Kansas and previously worked as a paralegal.
In nursing school, Carrie discovered a love for surgery and eagerly began her career. Yet, over time, her work felt like “just a job,” missing the personal fulfillment she had hoped for. Watching her grandparents, now in their 90s, struggle to stay in their home and search for suitable care, Carrie realized her true calling: working with the elderly, caring for them as she would her own family. Today, she feels fulfilled, knowing she’s where she’s meant to be—providing compassionate care to seniors in the place she now calls home.
In her free time, Carrie enjoys wine tasting, visiting the beach, snorkeling and reading. Happily married with two children and a schnoodle, she also enjoys cheering on her son at soccer and basketball games and watching her daughter at dance recitals.
