She completed flight school at Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, Texas, and then advanced jet training at Naval Air Station in Kingsville, Texas. In 1993, she officially earned her wings. As a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, Carey flew a number of missions worldwide as a combat pilot.

In 1999, she retired from the military to pursue a career as a leadership expert and motivational speaker. Her experiences as a naval fighter pilot have given her keen insights into what it takes to perform under pressure in uncertain environments, reduce errors in crunch time and overcome whatever obstacles come your way.
