Carrie Thompson
Admissions Director
B.A. in Psychology from Middlebury College, Vermont

After growing up in Utah, Carrie headed east for College where she competed nationally as a swimmer while studying psychology. Although she loved her time away, Carrie’s roots in Utah powder slopes and biking trails lured her back. Carrie’s work, first as a House Coach and as a House Coach Supervisor has well prepared her for her current role in admissions. Who better to present the realities and opportunities a student and a student’s family will encounter at Oakley. Carrie’s love for our students shows through from the first phone call to the last hugs at graduation.
