Carrie was nominated by listeners as someone they want to hear from to learn HOW she juggles it all.

She is working in her 25th year of teaching in the classroom and year 12 of not using a textbook. Carrie is a curriculum developer for Señorwooly.com and is also involved at her local and state level when it comes to foreign language advocacy and instruction.
