Meet the Voice Who Keeps the Office Running Smoothly - Adrienne Carci

Whenever you call Blue Ridge Tours, one of the most pleasant voices always answers the phone. That voice is a welcome relief to a long and busy day of teaching long-division or sentence structure. That voice will immediately put you at ease, and you will know that you will be taken care of immediately by the owner of that voice – 

Adrienne Carci, Blue Ridge Tours Executive Assistant.

Adrienne is relatively new to Blue Ridge Tours – having just completed her first school tour season, but she is not new to working hard for children and making sure that they are able to experience all the opportunities available to them.

After graduating from Mauldin High in 2003, Adrienne got her Associates Degree in Human Services from Greenville Tech and then got a BS in Social Work from Limestone College in 2010. After working as a HR Generalist, Adrienne joined the SC Department of Social Services in the foster care child support division.  The day-to-day obstacles that she faced while working with children and families who had reached one of the lowest points in their lives took a toll on Adrienne, and she decided that she wanted to work with children and help them embrace opportunities before they reached this low point.  When Steve and Donna offered her this opportunity in May 2014, she knew that she had found a way to achieve her calling.

When Adrienne thinks about her first school trip to Washington, DC back when she was at Beck Middle School, she remembers it not only for all the sights she saw that she had only read about in history books but she also remembers it for the friendships that she was able to make through bonding while on the bus and staying at the hotel.  These were friendships that she may not have made in the hallways of school. She learned that traveling is not only fun and allows you to experience new places, but also it teaches you more about yourself and others.

Since that first trip to Washington, DC, Adrienne continues to embrace traveling.  She enjoys taking cruises – particularly to Jamaica, but she also enjoys exploring the local hideaways of cities such as Chicago and Charleston.  When she is not traveling, Adrienne stays busy with her three rescue pit bulls as well as many others that she fosters.
Adrienne’s continued concern for families and children who are struggling continues on at Blue Ridge Tours where she organized our first Food Drive and worked with our schools to help stock the shelves of a local food bank.

Now that she has a complete school tour year under her belt, Adrienne hopes to continue to work with Blue Ridge Tours on expanding the tour activities and offering more opportunities for all of our schools and students.
