Carly is a seasoned Navy spouse with nearly 25 years by her husband’s side. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Master of Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
Along the way, she has taught students in grades K-6 while raising three daughters. Having lived at twelve different duty stations, she has gained firsthand insight into the unique challenges and opportunities that come with frequent PCS transitions, long deployments, and navigating life overseas.
She understands the importance of community support, connection, and spouse involvement during each new chapter. At Military Brands, she draws on this experience to share practical information, personal perspective, and resources to help military families feel more connected and supported wherever military life takes them.
