Carly is a native of Booneville, Mississippi.  She attended Northeast Mississippi Community College and the University of Mississippi.  She received her practical nursing degree at Northeast in 1980.

During her 40+ year nursing career she began her work in medical-surgical nursing, supervising anesthesia technicians, equipment and budgets, office management, and assisting in surgery. However, most of her nursing career has been focused on facial plastic surgery and medical grade skincare.  

Medical aesthetics and plastic surgery are used to improve the quality of life. Our physical appearance can affect our confidence and self-esteem because we live and work in an image-oriented society.  Her nursing career in facial plastic surgery includes teaching proper skincare, helping people look and feel their best, giving them the ability to put their best self into relationships, careers and overall living a longer, better quality of life.  

Carly lives at Lake Caroline in Madison with her husband Chris.  Together, they have 6 adult children and eight grandchildren.  She enjoys sewing for her grandchildren, kayaking, watching wildlife around the lake and traveling with Chris.  

She says, “It is an honor to be appointed to the Mississippi Board of nursing, serving the public and contributing to the safety of healthcare.”
