Carrie is a 4x Founder building and exiting some of the most innovative companies in the metaverse. Her devotion to storytelling and worldbuilding is evident throughout her 17 year professional career in digital publishing, EdTech, the metaverse, and more recently as a Podcast Host. She has been awarded ‘Best Company’, ‘Outstanding Leadership’, and ‘Top Visionary’ awards as an entrepreneur. But today, she is interested in preserving the stories of those around her, amazing entrepreneurs and business leaders in cutting edge technology whom she is privileged to interview in her monthly segment The MetaVersed, and most importantly, her own family.

As we get older and the generations before us pass on, we start to question how they lived their lives, search for those details from our own histories and experience a longing to ask the questions we didn’t have a chance to. Carrie’s brainchild, Audio Life, proactively collects and preserves those stories and memories, and powerfully shares them through the voices of our own loved ones. Carrie leads as CEO and invites you to join the story at Audio Life.io.
