Carrie has dedicated her career to creating a Jewish community that is inclusive, accessible, and welcoming to all.

With more than two decades of professional experience in the Jewish community, Carrie understands the strengths and challenges Jewish nonprofits face and is uniquely positioned to make an impact as a creative problem solver, strategist, and connector.

In her twelve years as CEO for Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters Community Mikveh and Education Center, Carrie spearheaded its transition to become a national organization, nearly doubling its budget and staff and engaging communities worldwide. Carrie is a passionate and visionary leader, is able to quickly gain trust and respect among the full diversity of the Jewish people, and quite simply, she gets things done.

Carrie has written extensively on inclusiveness, mental health in the Jewish community, and surrogacy. Her essay, “Steel Womb,” was featured in Shelly Oria’s I Know What’s Best for You, published by McSweeney’s in 2022. And if you want to know all about her innards, you can read about her experience serving as a gestational carrier on her blog, “There’s no I in Uterus.” (Get it?!)

A Schusterman Senior Fellow and member of Combined Jewish Philanthropies’ inaugural Chai in the Hub group of the 18 most influential young leaders in Boston, Carrie holds Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Social Work from Boston University and Skidmore College respectively. She is a graduate of the DeLeT program for Day School Leadership at Brandeis University, and spent a year learning at Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. Carrie has trained at ComedySportz Boston, Kismet Improv in Providence, and Second City in Chicago.

Carrie lives in Sharon, MA with her husband, three children, and their assertive whoodle, Muchacha. She is an aficionado of knitting, Applied Improv, homemade Purim costumes, and all things food (except for doing the dishes).
