 In June 1966, Carrol went to Chile along with another sister Edwina. They were given a year to prepare for Chile. Carrol and Edwina went to the Catholic University of Puerto Rico to study Spanish. She was passionate about bi-lingual education. 

Later they traveled to Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia and Ecuador, and arrived in Chile on September 25th, 1967. School began in March 1968 where Carrol taught reading in the primary grades, later becoming principal of the Saint Rose school in Lo Barnechea. 

Until 1974, she was instrumental in working together with other public schools and institutions integrating school activity very much into the daily life of the little town of Lo Barnechea located at the foot of the Andes mountains. In 1974, Carrol returned to Portland, OR where she decided to leave the Holy Child Community. 

She came to Phoenix, AZ in 1974. Carrol met Mauro in Santiago, Chile in 1967 where they worked in the parish team in the town of Lo Barnechea. Because of the very violent military coup in 1973, Mauro left Chile and moved to Phoenix, AZ. Carrol and Mauro dated in Phoenix for two years and they married on May 29th, 1976. Mauro was a counselor and a psychotherapist, and Carrol was working in bilingual education at the Murphy district for at least 10 years. 

She then worked for the Peoria school district for another 8 years as Director of the bilingual education program. 

She went on to work at ASU West as a supervisor for a number of years. She had some children as students in the second grade when she was at the Murphy district, and later had the same students at ASU when they were getting their graduate degrees.
