About

Carie has been practicing in the medical field since graduating with an undergraduate degree in Medical Dietetics from the University of Missouri – Columbia in 2015. She started with nutrition counseling and transitioned to managing tube fed patients for the Chicagoland area. After a couple years, she worked part-time as an inpatient dietitian while building a private practice focused on treating patients with autoimmune conditions and GI discomfort. Learning more about functional nutrition through her private practice led to a desire to advance her knowledge of medical care and adding more tools to her toolbox to treat the whole person. While completing prerequisite classes, she worked at Banner MD Anderson in Gilbert, AZ in their Integrative Oncology Department for 2 years prior to starting medical school at Sonoran University (formerly Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine).

While at Sonoran University, Carie served as Class President, Student Member for the Board of Trustees, secretary of the LGBTQ+ club and tutored fellow Naturopathic students as well as students in the Masters of Clinical Nutrition program. She started the General Medicine residency at Sonoran University in 2022 and looks forward to building her patient base and get back to treating the whole person.
