Carol was born in a beautiful small town just south of Atlanta. At the age of 4 Carol's grandmother introduced her to dancing as a way to learn to be graceful, gracious and refined. Graduating high school with honors and with the recognition as Most Talented in her senior class, Carol went to Atlanta to attend Georgia State College. From there she moved to Phoenix where she met her husband John and had two children, Heather and Freeman.
Career wise, Carol found her niche in sales and sales training, having a 25 year career with a Fortune 500 company. As she and her husband both advanced their careers they moved numerous times always keeping a sense of balance between family and career. Carol now enjoys a successful second career as a Master Certified Life Coach serving an international clientele
Carol has travelled with citizen diplomacy groups to a number of foreign countries including Russia, Kenya and Egypt. These trips were focused on building bridges of friendship and supporting projects that help improve the lives of the people.
Carol's delights in life include music, dancing, travelling, entertaining and especially spending time with her wonderful husband, their amazing children and a wide circle of friends. An active volunteer, Carol is involved with a number of church sponsored community outreach programs including a monthly food drive, annual diaper drive and Thanksgiving basket brigade and the semi annual Clean Sweep project to clean houses and yeards for the elderly and housebound individuals. She also serves on the board of trustees and the finance committee of her church and gives of her time and talent to counsel with couples who are struggling financially.
Committed to continued personal growth and challenging herself to stretch and reach beyond her comfort zone, Carol hiked the Grand Canyon at age 60, has walked on fire, broken boards with her hands and entered the Colorado Ms. Senior America Pageant as a catalyst to reactivate her love for dancing and to have an opportunity to participate in performing with the Cameo Club.
It is Carol's desire to be a role model for aging with elegance, vibrancy and purpose.
The Ms. Senior
America Pageant is the world's first and foremost pageant to
emphasize and give honor to women who have reached the "Age of
Elegance." It is a search for the gracious lady who best
exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all
senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy is based
upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America,
and our most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge,
experience and resources that the younger generation has the
opportunity to build a better society.
