A native of New Hampshire, Carissa graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a B.S. in business studies and a concentration in business administration.  After graduating from college, she traded brutal winters for sun-drenched beaches by moving to San Diego, where she ended up living for two years. However, she (somehow) grew sick of year-round summers and missed the changing of the seasons, so has since returned to her home state, where she currently works as an administrative assistant in our office. In her free time she enjoys reading, cooking, listening to music, writing, painting, yoga, gardening, hiking, camping, laughing with friends, and anything else that results in a good time.
