Outside of her work, Carrie enjoys reading, cycling, and cheering for her alma mater, especially during March Madness and football season, with her two chocolate labs, Tank and Zoey.
“Stories strengthen families, and families strengthen our nation,” says Fuller. “That’s what drives everything we do at United Through Reading.”
