Carrie is passionate about her work at Hygea, believing in the power of person-centered care to make a real difference in the lives of individuals seeking help. She aims to be part of a team that breaks the norm in addiction treatment, advocating for a mindset that asks "why not" when striving for best practices. The most rewarding aspect of her role is contributing to improved standards in addiction medicine, and she feels fulfilled when she sees clients leave with renewed hope and direction.

Her expertise includes staff development and education, and she was honored with the **Renay Tyler Award for Ambulatory Nursing Leadership** in 2019. Carrie is a proud member of the American Nursing Association and the Sigma Theta Tau National Nursing Honor Society.

Carrie’s vast experience and unwavering dedication to improving addiction treatment make her an invaluable asset to the Hygea team. Her commitment to person-centered care and her passion for uplifting those in need enrich our mission and inspire both colleagues and clients alike.
