Hi! My name is Carly Lyden! I was born in and adopted from Murmansk, Russia when I was a baby and grew up in Rochester, New York. After graduating from high school, I decided to attend my dream school, High Point University for college. I studied Criminal Justice and was a part of the Pre-Law program.

​

After a difficult 2020, I decided to take a year off from applying to law school and enrolled in the Masters in Communication and Business Leadership program at HPU. I am (hopefully) graduating in May and decided to explore other career paths before going into hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt for law school.

​

In my free time I enjoy photography, cooking, baking, and writing. Between school, my hobbies, and golf, I like to keep myself busy.
