Two leaders for the UMW community

A former Account Executive with Telemundo and co-owner of a large retail furniture business, Carey Sims is passionate about developing leaders. She and husband Gannon Sims, a former public affairs officer with the U.S. State Department’s anti-human trafficking office, have teamed up to serve the UMW community. They’re here to help students grapple with issues of faith and how Christian spirituality brings coherence to life—when it seems like life is going in multiple directions or in no direction at all.

Carey studied Spanish and International Relations at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. She holds the MBA from Regent University and the M.Div. from Duke University. Gannon studied Speech Communication and Music (voice) at Baylor University in Waco, Texas and also earned the M.Div. at Duke.
