Carly has been a member of the Carbon Valley community since 2013. She and her husband of 22 years have one son who is 20. Carly has been a volunteer with the Carbon Valley Help Center since 2018. She loves volunteering in her community and giving back directly to those around her. When she's not volunteering at the Help Center, you can find her coaching softball for her niece's softball team, doing crossfit, and hanging out with her family.

Originally from the Hudson Valley, NY, I developed a passion for community service early in life while volunteering as a firefighter. That experience instilled a lifelong appreciation for the power of giving back. In 1994, I moved to Fraser, Colorado, where I spent time volunteering with the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD). Later, while pursuing my college education, I continued to support others by tutoring and assisting fellow students in labs. My deeply held belief in the importance of service has led me to the Carbon Valley Help Center, where I am honored to help strengthen and uplift the local community.

His deep commitment to serving others has been a guiding principle throughout his life. “The Help Center is a vital resource to our community. My faith teaches me to look for ways to help others and serve to make a positive difference.” —Paul Sorensen
