About Carrie
Before her career in public service, Carrie excelled in academia, graduating with highest-honors and two degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She then attended Harvard Law School, where she first answered the call to public service as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), helping abused children navigate the court system.
It was this early experience working with society’s most vulnerable children that compelled Carrie to choose a career in public policy rather than in the courtroom.
Public Service/Public Policy
In the years since, Carrie has remained at the forefront of important policy issues, serving as a trusted policy advisor at the federal, state and local level. As an expert in public safety and transportation, Carrie has served a vital role in crafting policy solutions for Orange County residents that prioritize safe neighborhoods and traffic reduction.
As current Vice Chair of the Irvine Transportation Commission, Carrie serves as an advocate for the residents of Irvine, improving local transportation safety and working to reduce traffic in and around Irvine.
