Though she’s originally from the Midwest, Carrie has lived on the East Coast most of her adult life. She fell in love with the beauty of BHI the exact moment she stepped onto the Island. She is committed to protecting not only the Island’s rich history and architectural integrity but also that special something that makes BHI, well BHI.

In her past, Carrie has been a full-time stay-at-home mom, a school-based mentor, a non-profit executive, a federal employee, a political appointee, a freelance writer and a professional communications consultant. She lives in Brunswick County just outside of Southport with her young daughter, Lila, and her rescued cat and dog. Her adult son, Brady, is a middle/high school band teacher in South Carolina. Carrie is a long-time movie buff, avid reader and grateful beachgoer. Most weekends she can be found doing something outside.

Leigh Ann Fink spent most of her life in a little town of around 600 people named Faith, North Carolina. Faith was the closest thing to Mayberry you could ever know. Everyone knew everyone, and people took care of each other. After her husband’s retirement, they moved to Oak Island in 2018. The only thing better than living on Oak Island is working on Bald Head Island. The view while walking from the ferry landing to BHA is incredible!

Her hobbies include fishing and boating, and she enjoys spending time with her family, especially her five grandchildren.
