Carrie's Story

Life My husband, Rob, and I both teach at Merrillville High School (history and English, respectively) and have a golden lab, Hampton, who is six (Yes, he's named after Dan Hampton from the Chicago Bears)and a mutt named Hayley, 1. In addition to teaching, I act as Key Club advisor. Last year I became a certified teacher mentor and was named to Who's Who Among America's teachers for the 2005-06 edition. In 2007, I was named Most Outstanding Key Club Advisor for Indiana. In my spare time (ha!), I am involved with the Merrillville Breakfast Kiwanis, act as a Site Coordinator for Kiwanis International's Key Leader program, and am on the advisory boards for Key Leader, Spring Mill Health Campus, and the Lupus Foundation of Indiana. I can be seen in the Kiwanis Key Leader promotional video that has been distributed internationally. I guess that you can say I'm an international movie star, of sorts. Ha! I recently became a certified doula and enjoy assisting parents during the birthing process. My husband and I love home improvement projects, and purchased a cottage on the banks of the Tippecanoe River that is very near completion. You are all invited to come float, party, and relax at our inagural Winamac bash in August. I love to travel and recently took a road trip to meet long lost relatives. I'll be travelling to Scranton (Yes, of The Office fame) at the end of July for a family reunion with the Brady Clan. Another passion of mine is throwing parties. I love celebrations! I've been having a great time planning our 20th class reunion and hanging out with all t...Expand for more
he awesome reunion planners. Checkout out our awesome class website at 3W(dot)1988brickies (dot)com. School There were several teachers who inspired me: Mrs. Shirley Rhody, Mrs. Shirley Gronlund, Mrs. Eulene McKenzie, Senora Shinovich, and Mr. Jay Gephart. Each of them was kind, caring, and went above and beyond for their students. I would like to think that I have a bit of each of them in my teaching style. Crush, hmmm...there was that drummer. I have many fond memories of high school, however if I had to do it over again, I wish I was who I am now, then; I was sooo shy back then. My students don't believe me when I tell them that I was, but I am much more outgoing today than I was then. I wish that I would have let people see the real me along time ago! College My first year of college I lived with a recluse. After that I lived with four other girls and still keep in contact with two of them. College at IU was awesome. My husband I are both IU graduates and actually became engaged at Showalter Fountain in May of 2000. Rob played rubgy at IU and his coach, also a minister, married us at Memorial Opera House in Valpo on August 11, 2001. College is where I really bloomed and blossomed. My husband and I meet up with college friends in B-Town often. It is a place where I still find inspiration. Workplace I LOVE teaching at Merrillville High School. It is truly a place where one can make a difference. I also work with some pretty phenomenol people. Work is a place of much fun. I feel like I never left high school...well, technically I haven't.
