Carmen was raised on a farm in the Midwest until middle school and then moved with her family to TX, NM, and eventually ended up in the ‘dry heat’ of the Southwest until her early twenties. After living in NC for 7 years, she felt the pull to be close to family, so she returned to AZ. She now lives in Tucson with Bill, her husband of almost 3 years. They have 2 grown sons in TX and FL and love being Auntie and Uncle to their 11 nieces and nephews and 2 great nieces. When not spending time with their large extended family, they enjoy the great outdoors in the non-scorching months by off-roading and camping. Carmen started a bookkeeping and coaching business in 2018 and with Bill’s help, they now help clients across the US. But her greatest love is hanging out with her family and friends and U of A football and hockey….Go Wildcats!
