The Story So Far
I’m Carrie—a metallurgical engineer, certified professional life coach, graduate student, and proud dog mom to my Siberian Husky, Loki. I call Salt Lake City home, where I balance my career, studies, and passion for personal growth. As a sister, friend, and mentor, I believe in the power of connection, continuous learning, and pushing beyond limits.
I’ve always been drawn to problem-solving and transformation, whether in science, leadership, or personal development. My path hasn’t been linear, and that’s exactly why I believe growth isn’t about following a set formula—it’s about forging your own way, adapting, and stepping into your full potential.
Expertise
With a background in metallurgical engineering, I’ve built a career solving complex problems, analyzing systems, and refining processes. But I’ve learned that the most powerful transformations don’t just happen in industries or labs—they happen in people.
As a certified professional life coach, I apply the same structured, solution-focused approach to personal and professional development. Just like engineering, transformation requires breaking things down, designing solutions, and building a strong foundation for lasting success. My work focuses on helping individuals gain clarity, develop confidence, and take meaningful steps toward their goals.
How I Help
I work with professionals and leaders who are ready to take control of their growth, make intentional choices, and create meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, stepping into leadership, or seeking deeper fulfillment, I provide the tools and guidance to help you forge your path with confidence.
Through coaching, leadership development, and strategic insight, I help people break through barriers, define success on their own terms, and step boldly into the next phase of their journey.
Black Phoenix Philosophy
At the heart of Black Phoenix are three guiding values:
- Loyalty – To yourself, your growth, and your vision. True transformation begins with committing to your path, even when it’s difficult. You owe it to yourself to show up, keep going, and trust the process.
- Courage – Growth requires bravery—the willingness to step into the unknown, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace change, even when it feels uncomfortable. Strength isn’t the absence of fear; it’s choosing to move forward anyway.
- Discernment – Not every opportunity, path, or expectation is meant for you. True empowerment comes from knowing what aligns with your purpose and having the clarity to make decisions that support your vision, not someone else’s.
Whether you’re redefining your career, stepping into leadership, or seeking deeper fulfillment, Black Phoenix is about helping you forge your own path with confidence, clarity, and purpose—while staying true to who you are.
Forge your path. Ignite your purpose.
