Her comedic essay "Outsourcing Love” – which documents the shameless hiring of a virtual assistant in India to manage her love life – was recently optioned for a feature film. She's also been tapped to write the film adaptation of the hit book "If You Give a Mom a Martini." 

Carrie earned a master's in journalism from Northwestern University and a minor in nerdalism from high school engineering camp. She regularly contributes humorous essays, videos and features to the New York Post, NPR's UnFictional and Cosmopolitan. She has also reported on “serious” news – like Capitol Hill politics, immigration policy reform and Michele Bachmann's panties – for Channel One News, National Geographic Television and E! TV (not necessarily in that order).

Carrie is a member of The Deviants sketch comedy group and was invited to perform her original sketch show, “Midwestern Wisdom,” at the prestigious Comedy Central Stage in Los Angeles. She had a recurring role on E!'s Seven Deadly Hollywood Sins and her essays on awkwardness are featured in the book Mortified: Love is a Battlefield.
