Carey earned a B.A. in mathematics at The College of Wooster in Ohio in 2000. She worked as a statistical programmer and researcher at The Urban Institute, a non-partisan social policy think tank and as a researcher in biophysical forcing and zooplankton ecology at University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. Her current interests include population dynamics modeling, statistics, spatial management, larval fish biology, and bioeconomics.
