Carla is an attorney, a mother, a wife, and a proud resident of Fort Mill. Carla graduated from Virginia Tech University with a degree in Political Science, French, and Spanish, and can be found most Saturdays in the Fall cheering on her Hokies.

At her father’s encouragement, she went on to pursue a law degree from Barry University School of Law where she met her husband Mike. Together, they moved to the area after falling in love with Fort Mill and are raising their sons, Luca and Nico in Baxter Village.

Carla is a proud former civil servant and worked for seven years as a government attorney prosecuting criminal offenders and providing a voice to countless victims. She is a member of three state bar organizations including North and South Carolina. Carla comes from a family of small business owners and currently runs her own local law firm.

Carla is passionate about making sure local voices are heard in Columbia. She will focus her campaign on common sense legislation that she and most South Carolinians and Americans want. Carla is not your typical party-line politician. She believes in democracy and wants to see policy built for and by the people.

As an active member in her community, Carla recognizes that most normal, everyday people live somewhere in the middle of the Red/Blue extremes we see on our screens every day. When she gets elected, she will be a voice for all who feel drowned out by the noise of party-line pundits and politicians, click-bait news and internet trolls.

As a seasoned attorney, Carla is more than capable of reaching past party lines and successfully negotiating for common sense progress to protect our families and our futures.

Why I’m Here

First and foremost, YOU are the reason I am here. Local government is a reflection of local residents and we deserve to be represented by people who know serving is a privilege and makes it their priority. We deserve someone who can communicate effectively and advocate persuasively. We deserve representatives who have our backs and will listen to our opinions and advance your positions.

I want to take my education, experience, and passion for serving my community and serve you. I am committed to preserving the neighborhoods we are lucky to call home. We could have chosen anywhere to start and raise our family, but I know there is something undeniably special about Fort Mill and Tega Cay. I will make sure everyone in Columbia knows that too.

On a personal level, representing you is an opportunity to honor my calling, my family, and my community today - so we can work together for a brighter tomorrow.
