Carol, who's on duty all day Monday and Tuesday and on Wednesday mornings, was born in Maine but considers herself a Marin native, having moved here at age one. She grew up in Novato and graduated from Novato High School.
In 1981, she moved back east and earned a degree in Business Management from Northeastern University, settling in Massachusetts and working in inventory control. She moved back to Marin in 1998, although she still has a son and grandson in New England.
Carol's interests include traveling, cooking, computers and birdwatching. She volunteers as a docent at the Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary in Tiburon, and also works there as an assistant teacher and naturalist.
Her husband Fred, a Mill Valley local, is a semi-retired contractor specializing in remodeling. They share an interest in cars. Fred races at Sears Point, and they have won many classic car show awards with their replica 1965 A/C Cobra.
Carol is delighted to be involved with College of Marin's Disabled Students.
"I never knew anything like this existed," she says. "My son is dyslexic. I wish we'd had services like this when he was a kid."
