Kari Carpenter

“I love being around children and the innocence/love they show. I enjoy watching the children grow and the excitement they show when learning something new. I look forward to joining my faith life and my work life.”

Kari Carpenter is a new Catholic beginning her first job in a Catholic school environment. Baptized in April 2015 at Christ the Redeemer, Kari is ready to take the next step in helping to educate and love our CtRCS students.

Raised in Tempe, Ariz., she has been in Houston since 2003. Her previous work experience includes billing and sales at Spectracell Laboratories in Houston from 2008-2014, and she was also the receptionist and account receivable contact at Copperfield Family Medicine. She most recently was the front desk receptionist at Steeplechase Pediatric.

She currently lives in Bonaire with her husband Matt. Both are very active at CtR Catholic School and with the Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) program at CtR, among other ministries. They have been married since 2005 and have three children. Garrett (born in 2010); Gabby (born in 2012) and Mark (born in 2015) Garrett and Gabby are both at CtRCS. Even though the kids keep her busy, Kari enjoys reading, hanging out with family and friends and taking a Hip Hop Class.
