Background
Born in Washington, D.C., Carrell spent a brief stint of her childhood in Long Beach, CA before moving with her family to her father's hometown, Tucson, Arizona. She graduated with undergraduate degrees from Stanford (1984) and Oxford (1988), rounding off her schooling with a PhD in English Literature from Harvard (1994).
Career
Beginning her career in academia, Carrell served as a Lecturer in the "Hist & Lit" (History and Literature) Departments at Harvard from 1994–97 and taught Expository Writing from 1997-98. After getting her first freelance assignment from Smithsonian Magazine -- "How the Bard Won the West" — which explored Shakespeare's surprising popularity among cowboys, miners, and mountain men of the Old West, Carrell left university life in order to further pursue her writing.
A passionate believer in the arts, she worked as the classical music, opera, and dance critic for the Arizona Daily Star (Tucson) from 1999-2001. She has directed Shakespeare plays for Harvard's Hyperion Theatre Company and served as a dramaturg for the Arizona Theatre Company.
