Early life and education
Carey was raised in Boise, Idaho.[3] She attended Jackson Elementary and West Junior High and graduated from Borah High School in 1993.[4][5][6]
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."[4] Carey was also a lifeguard at the Borah pool, an experience that would influence her film The To-Do List.[7]
Carey attended the University of Idaho for a year, before being recruited to the University of Montana to play Division I soccer in the team's inaugural season.[8] She was co-captain of the team,[3] making 26 appearances as a defender and scoring one goal.[9] She graduated from Montana with a bachelor's degree in English literature. Carey went on to earn an MFA degree in film production from the University of Texas at Austin.[3][4]

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.[2] 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.[13][14]
