After graduating from Butler University with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree she enjoyed a career in Infusion Pharmacy Leadership. While seeking a classical educational option for their children, her focus shifted to public education reform in 2000. As the Co-Founder of a Charter School in Wisconsin, she gained experience in nonprofit leadership and fund development by leading the Charter School and its Foundation. Carrie founded Bonk Consulting LLC, to share her experience in strategic planning, non-profit management, and fund development with nonprofit organizations.  Upon a job transfer for her husband, Carrie was asked to be the Executive Director for the Wisconsin Charter School Association. Shortly thereafter, the Lord called Carrie into full time ministry. If asked, Carrie will tell you she is passionate about sharing the love and hope of Jesus with others and helping them discover next steps in their spiritual journey. She will also tell you that TPM has been a game changer, to know the truth allows you to live the truth.
