Carrier first began her teaching career at Rollins in 1983 as an adjunct professor. She earned her B.A. in studio art and her M.A. in humanities from Florida State University, and a Ph.D. in higher education administration from the University of Florida.
Immediately students were treated to possibly the quickest and easiest quiz during their time on campus administered by the dean on the history of the Hamilton Holt School.
Anyone who may have felt overwhelmed at the halfway point of the semester was encouraged by the inspirational stories of two fellow Holt students, Leifke Cox and Mark Zauss, who overcame numerous obstacles to continue their education.
Dean Carrier considers the Rollins community the supporting characters in a student's life story eager to "provide the best education possible."
In addition to the many opportunities currently available to Holt students, Dean Carrier revealed several ideas to better serve the student body.
She desires to create grants that will provide up to half the amount of the international study experience and, over the next three years, increase the financial support to students by doubling the amount of scholarship funding.
This year will bring about the design of a leadership course where students will take the leadership theories learned in the classroom into the local community.
Dean Carrier will also explore the possibility of participation in honor societies and more student recognition programs. Like those who have held the position before her, the new dean seeks to find ways to increase Hamilton Holt's sense of belonging to the Rollins community through both educational and extracurricular activities.
