Carrie has been making dances since she was 15 years old.  This is another way of expression she feels is an important part of finding her true voice as an individual artist.  Much of Carrie's work is inspired by nature.    When she was living at home in Virginia, she used any space to explore movement.  In the warm months she used the acre of land in the backyard.   She enjoyed the backyard because of its free wide open space and the trees she used to dance around.

Carrie began dance at the Loudoun School of Ballet.  This is where she and four other dancers' produced a choreographic showcase called "Five Dancers."  During that time she  choreographed a solo on herself that won an award of excellence in dance at the third Virginia Fine Arts Scholarship program. 

Carrie continued her education in dance at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.  While in school she was able to continue to choreograph for the student choreographers' showcase as well as her work being featured in the faculty showcase in her junior year.  In 1996 Carrie worked as the choreographer to composer Bright Sheng's  opera production of " Song of Majnun", performed at Cincinnati College's Corbett Auditorium. 

Carrie graduated with a BFA (cum laude) in dance and moved to the east coast to dance and choreograph in Philadelphia and New York.

Since then, Carrie has created works for Opus 1Contemporary, Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Wyoming Seminary Performing Arts Institute, Martha Graham choreographers' showcase, Art of Motion visual art show and dance benefit, and "Escape to Freedom" fundraiser for Dance Vision.  More recently, Carrie and her colleague created and presented "Big Sky Project" at Jacob's Pillow Inside/Out in Lee Massachusetts. 

Carrie continues to explore ways of moving that can express her true voice.  She continues to find her inspiration in all  life-feeling grateful for every moment.
