Professional Bio
Since opening in 2018, Carrie has been Manager at Skylark Bookshop in Columbia, MO. She happened into a bookselling job as a teen and knew she found her people. She has a reputation for walking while reading, because how else do we find time in this industry? She tends to have several books going at once, including working on her own (very slowly). In other lives she was a gymnastics coach, bio chem lab rat, barista, & more. Other than bookselling, her favorite job has been Mother.
