Early life

Cherie was born Cherie Elizabeth Untermeyer in Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey, the third daughter of Milton Frederick Untermeyer, Jr. and Mary Kelly Untermeyer on May 30, 1949. Milton Untermeyer was a stock broker and had a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, and Mary Kelly was a top John Robert Powers model in New York, and was the Chesterfield girl of 1941. Cherie was a devoutly spiritual child who passionately loved horses, and everything related to the theatre. She auditioned for every play and was part of Brookwillow Mounted Drill Team before she was a teenager. She was involved in many sports including: tennis, basketball, swimming, skiing, field hockey, and lacrosse. She longed to become an actress and spent summers at Williamstown Summer Theatre in Massachusetts in summer stock doing everything related to the theatre.^[2]

Education

Cherie attended Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York City, and briefly boarded at Sacred Heart in Greenwich, Connecticut when her parents became ill. She attended Bradford College in Massachusetts, where she received the young achievement award, followed by the University of Denver where she received her BA in theatre and education; then she attended the University of Minnesota graduate school in theatre, and Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara where she received her MA and Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Development. Her dissertation was focused on the relationship between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction. She proved with her thorough research that there is a direct relationship between the way companies treat their employees and the way those employees treat their customers.

While matriculating at University of Minnesota, Cherie received an invitation to return to New York City to act in As You Like It, in Shakespeare in the Park. She left graduate school and returned to NYC to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. While working at the Public Theatre, Cherie had the opportunity to work in Soap Operas such as Search for Tomorrow and The Edge of Night.

After experiencing the life of an actress in NYC, Cherie found that although she was talented, she did not have the personality to be unemployed for long stretches of time as is the case in the theatre, and she sought her soul searching 90-day period to find her life's purpose. It was during that period that she experienced the synchronistic occurrence; What was being asked of her was exactly the message she was meant to pursue. She received her three messages that provided her with the guidance to direct her life. They were: "You are a catalyst," "You are to work in growth and development," and "You have a gift for working with people." When she wove them together she came up with, "I am a catalyst who works with people on their growth and development." It was then that she started coaching professionally.

Dr. Cherie Carter-Scott started coaching professionally October 15, 1974, and then she started training professional life coaches in 1975. She has been coaching and training coaches ever since. She is credentialed as an ICF Master Certified Coach.
