Throughout her life and professional career Carol's roots in growing up in rural Appalachian poverty have served her well. Traditional values like honesty, respectfulness, hard work and personal integrity have guided her quest of excellence in all aspects of her life.

Early on she exhibited an innate understanding of human nature and perseverance in all endeavors - creative and academic. Her parents influence and support of her academic, creative, and artistic endeavors helped her to strive for excellence and take calculated risks to grow, flourish and rise up from poverty.

​

She has an uncanny mathematical aptitude, love of language, curiosity in all things, and need for structure and order naturally led her to the emerging field of computers, programming, systems design and industrial engineering.

​

She embraces the importance and rigor of business and financial planning to enable effective and efficient operational management to facilitate controlled growth and maximize ROI.

Her work in implementing change initiatives and leading diverse teams gave her a deep understanding of the universality of the need for positive behavior and character development for individuals to succeed.
