My name is Carolyn and I was born and raised right down the street in Peabody, Massachusetts. After a few different career ideas and major changes (public health, technical writing) I ended up receiving my Master's degree from Salem State in Higher Education May 2023! In my free time, I love going to the beach or cuddling up at home with a good book. I also enjoy cooking, hanging out with friends, and playing Zelda games.
1. I love to write short stories and poetry. 2. My favorite color is blue which is perfect since it's a Salem State color. 3. I have a golden retriever name Myla who I love SO much! 4. I love trying out new games (I don't always finish them though) 5. I come from a big family so it’s a blast celebrating holidays. 6. I order iced coffee a lot but only drink half. 7. I got my undergrad degree from UMass Lowell in Journalism and professional writing, but I focused on technical writing! 8.Anytime I go to the beach the first thing I do is take off my shoes and look for crabs (summer or winter time!) 9. I enjoy documentaries about baby animals or ancient civilizations - I would have loved being a historian or veterinarian. 10. I used to have a lazy eye. 11. My favorite book growing up was Where the Fern Grows. 12. I always have to buy markers or colored pens when I go to target because who doesn't love bright, happy pens? 13. I have an interesting music taste - Traditional Irish music, Sea Shanties, Taylor Swift, 5SOS are some examples. 14. If I were an animal I think I would be a grizzly bear. 15. My dream car is one with roof racks so I can take my kayaks out. 16. I would love to live in Norway for a year (or Ireland, or anywhere outside the country). 17. I’m wicked competitive anytime I play board games or video games! 18. My favorite Mario game is Super Mario Galaxy. 19. I am very afraid of black widow spiders, heights, and parallel parking. 20. I love John Wayne movies and have been watching them with my grandfather since I was young. 21. I always love organizing and planning ANYTHING which is probably what led me to this career path. 22. I think it would be super cool to be named after a tree. 23. 7 out of 8 of my dad’s great great great grandparents have been tracked to Ireland. 24. I have 14 cousins. 25. I wish Florence Pugh would play me in a movie even if I look nothing like her.
