About Eve Carlin

Eve grew up in a home devoted to family, service and community. Her father was a WW ll Navy veteran who worked in communications. He was a family man who liked outdoor activities such as fishing and going to ball games. While her mother was a small businesswoman and a cellist who played in community orchestras, she also was a painter and writer, whose works were often displayed in public libraries and senior centers.

Eve believes in the value of education having attended public schools before obtaining her college degree, masters degree, and law degree. She studied at Oxford, England. Eve would go onto become a business law professor. She teaches at a University and has taught paralegal courses at Central Carolina Technical College, and tutored cadets at the Camden Military Academy.

Eve is no stranger to public service and working in government. Eve worked on the campaign of former United States Congressman Thomas J. Downey, her first cousin. She worked for former Governor Mario Cuomo of New York in her early days. And has been engaged in political conversations around the table with an eye to becoming a public servant.

 

Eve has lived in South Carolina since 1999, where she calls Camden her home.
