Meet Carrie: Keeper of the Space
We’re excited to introduce our new Keeper of the Space, Carrie Fortier! Carrie brings a mix of hands-on experience, dedication, and heart to the role, and we can’t wait for you to get to know her better. We sat down with Carrie to learn more about her past, what inspires her right now, and her hopes for the future.
Q: Can you tell us a little about your background?
I grew up watching my mom run her own house cleaning business, which gave me hands-on experience and a strong work ethic from an early age. Those years taught me the value of attention to detail, consistency, and building trust with clients. Today, I’m proud to carry that knowledge forward and apply it in my own work, contributing to the success and growth of The Missing Corner.
Q: What’s going on in your life right now that excites you?
Right now, I’m really excited about stepping into the real estate world after recently passing my exam, and also about joining The Missing Corner community as a new member. But most of all, my heart and biggest priority is my 17-month-old son. He’s the best part of my days and what inspires me to keep moving forward.
Q: Looking ahead, what are you most looking forward to?
I’m looking forward to growing with The Missing Corner community and building my career in real estate. On a personal level, I’m excited to spend more time with my son and share new adventures with him as he gets older. I can’t wait to get back into mountain biking and fishing, especially now that he’s able to join me on more of those outdoor experiences.
Q: If you could inspire a cultural shift, what would it be?
I’d love to see people slowing down and placing more value on connection — with family, community, and nature. I think we often get caught up in staying busy and chasing “the next thing,” but more happiness comes from time spent together, supporting one another, and appreciating the simple moments. I’d love to see a world that encourages more balance, kindness, and community care.
Q: What challenges have you faced in bringing your ideas to life?
Some of the challenges I’ve faced have been not always feeling heard, navigating financial limitations, and at times struggling with motivation. Each of those challenges has taught me resilience and pushed me to find creative ways to keep moving forward.
We’re so glad to welcome Carrie as Keeper of the Space. Her dedication, perspective, and warmth are already enriching The Missing Corner, and we can’t wait to see what she brings to this role and to our community.
