About Carrie Parker
Paralegal Case Manager
Biography
I’m originally from VA but have lived in NC for 28 years and in Johnston County for 25 years so I consider myself a North Carolinian. I graduated from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and taught kindergarten, first, and second grade for about 15 years, but I became an NC State Certified Paralegal in 2006. My decision to become a paralegal was directly related to my personal experiences with ongoing custody litigation with my ex. I have three grown children who all have great relationships with both me and their father. My ex and I are also now on very good terms, so things do sometimes work themselves out.
I live on a small farm and have horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. I previously volunteered as a foster retraining pit bulls and have worked with bait dogs, fighting dogs, and dogs left to die chained up. I’ve fostered too many cats to remember a definite number. About three years ago, I rescued my horse, Charlie, from a kill pen and saved him from being shipped to Mexico to be slaughtered. Now he is my go to trail riding partner. I just recently rescued an untouched, wild mustang, Ziggy, from the Onaqui Mountain horse management area in Utah. He’s no longer untouched. I have a retired pony, Prissy, who is 32 years old and has been a part of my family for 28 years. She taught many children, including my three children, how to ride. I also have an off the track thoroughbred, Erin, who I am retraining to hopefully compete in Dressage one day.
In my spare time, in addition to riding and training my horses, I love spending time with my three children, Britt, Brad, and Izzy, my daughter-in-law, Lauren, and my sweet granddaughter, Meadow.
