Carrie Bernans was born in Richmond, VA with the magical enthusiasm and talents she is known for and where change became an early yet conquerable constant for her as a little girl. Carrie grew up poor-of-goods and wealthy-of-mind with a single-parent teenage-mother and an early nomadic lifestyle from her birthplace to Panama, Central America, back to Richmond and to the townships along the Eastern U.S. coast. These childhood experience reflexively prepared Carrie for extensive independent traveling and coaching abroad in Shanghai, China, Paris, France, London, England, and Berlin, Germany. Carrie looks forward to her next travels abroad discovering more of her West African blood and culture which she holds and values high to her.

(Carrie networked and trained even as a high school student with real investment bankers and accountants her mentors to do Merger & Acquisition simulations on the Vanderbilt, Emory, and Columbia University campuses.) She went on to run track at her Alma Mater, the University of Memphis, in Tennessee, home away from home for her. (Carrie is the featured alumnae in the May 2018 University of Memphis Magazine.) Carrie also attended school abroad in China, France, Germany, and the U.K. Along with Carrie’s multi-versed career, she focuses on solving youth homelessness, reading and financial literacy, and communication/self-esteem building among youth.
