In 2008, Carrie brought her extensive development experience to the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation as the Sr. Director of Development. After 19 years with the Ripken Foundation, she serves as the Chief Operating Officer overseeing the day-to-day operations. The Ripken Foundation has grown to impact over 1.6M underserved kids across the country in all 50 states through a variety of efforts including building Youth Mentoring Programs, Turf fields to give kids clean and safe places to play and installing 965 STEM Centers.

Carrie came to the Foundation from The Park School in Brooklandville, MD, where she served as the Director of Major Gifts, Planned Giving & Development Outreach. There she developed a planned giving program and major gifts/centennial campaign effort focused on building the endowment. Carrie also enjoyed a nine-year tenure defined by effectiveness with the United Way of Central Maryland. As Associate Vice President, Major Gifts and Annual Campaign, her department generated more than $13 million annually in individual gifts representing 45% of the private sector campaign. She also created and launched the Women’s Initiative in 1998 to encourage charitable giving highlighting women and the next generation of younger donors.

For fun Carrie plays pickleball five days a week. Her proudest accomplishment is being the mother of Benjamin and Jamie, and dog Roxy.
