Carroll Walton
Carroll Walton is a mom of three rambunctious boys, ages 4, 4 and 6. She joined the Smarty team while pregnant with twins in 2017 and has been passionate about it ever since. She loves the connection Charlotte Smarty Pants brings to other parents and the resources it provides for what's going on around town. Carroll actually grew up in Charlotte and graduated from Charlotte Country Day. She spent the first chapter of her adult life as a sportswriter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Now married and back in the Queen City, she gets an even bigger kick out of watching her sons play sports (T-ball and soccer so far!) You can reach her at carroll@charlottesmartypants.com.
