Hello, my name is Maura Carroll and I am excited to be an Eagle! I grew up as a military child, which meant moving around to 5 different states in my lifetime. I have been living in North Carolina since the seventh grade and call NC home. I have a very supportive family, including my parents and younger sister. Along with my family, I have two spoiled dogs. I graduated from Swansboro High School in 2015 and then attended Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. I graduated from Meredith with a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and with my K-6 teaching license. 

I am excited to start my teaching journey here at Carolina Forest International Elementary School. I have many experiences working with students and young children. Throughout high school, I was involved in different classes where we worked with before school age and school age children. During college, I worked throughout my four years with different ages ranging from age 3 to fifth grade students. I did my student teaching in two different grade levels, including first and second grade in Wake County.
