Early life and education

Carey was raised in Boise, Idaho.[2] She attended Jackson Elementary and West Junior High and graduated from Borah High School in 1993.[3][4][5]

Of her high school experience, Carey said, "I was in every AP class possible. I played a ton of sports. I was in student council. I was an all-American soccer player."[3] Carey was also a lifeguard at the Borah pool, an experience that would influence her film The To-Do List.[6]

Carey attended the University of Montana and graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature. She was co-captain of her Division I soccer team at that school.[2] Carey went on to earn an MFA degree in film production from the University of Texas at Austin.[2][3]

Career

In 2007, Carey and Liz Cackowski created an online series called The Jeannie Tate Show.[7]

Carey was a member of New York's Upright Citizens Brigade improvisation troupe.[3][8] Carey performed with both the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York[9] and Improv Olympics West in Los Angeles.[1]

In 2011, Carey cowrote and directed sketches for four episodes of Funny or Die Presents called "Lady Refs" about female referees working youth soccer games.[1] Carey wrote and directed the low budget sex comedy, The To Do List, which was released in 2013; the film is set in her home state of Idaho in 1993, featuring a lead character who is the same age as Carey was then.[10][11]

Personal life

Carey married actor Bill Hader in 2006.[12][13] They met in Los Angeles, California, through a friend of Carey's from college.[3]

They have three daughters together: Hannah Kathryn, born October 6, 2009,[14] Harper, born July 28, 2012,[14] and Hayley Clementine, born November 15, 2014.[15]

Hader and Carey separated in 2017.[16] Hader filed for divorce in December of that year.[17] The divorce was finalized in March 2018.[18][19]
