After graduating in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism, Carey worked on and off as a journalist for more than 15 years, much of that time based overseas with OM. Carey has been involved with OM since her first short-term outreach to former Eastern Europe in 1988, and was based overseas for a total of ten years (Hungary, Doulos, Spain/North Africa), working mainly in a Communications/PR role. Carey is passionate about seeing people become all that God created them to be and live their lives to the full, and it was this passion that led her back to Australia in 2004. Within six months, Carey had completed a Certificate IV in Life Coaching with the Life Coaching Institute of Australia and another in Business (Small Business Management). Carey lives in Adelaide where she now has her own life coaching practice, specialising in helping people to find and fulfil their God-given purpose, potential, goals and dreams. She is also writing her first book, "Leadership Salsa".  Carey brings to the OM Australia Board 20 years of rich and varied OM experience, as well as her expertise as a life coach, mentor and trainer.
