Carol was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in Southern California. Her parents always fostered her creative talents and helped her cultivate them. She went to Melodyland Theatre for acting, singing, and dancing, but primarily always wanted to be a singer. She took voice lessons for more than 8 years, piano lessons for 5 and guitar for 3 or so. Her college training was in theatre arts, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Recreational Therapy. She also became an Adult Education teacher as well as a music specialist in pre-schools. Using her artistic and musical skills she formulated a program which incorporated puppetry with music enrichment to teach music to children. This is how she became a puppeteer, she fell into it like a puppet on a string and is glad she did.
 Carol makes all her own puppets and marionettes, which she sculpts and casts, then builds the controls, costumes and all of the props. She writes her own vignettes and loves to entertain, compose music, and to make people laugh. She has 4 siblings who are creative as well. Her father was a dentist and her mother, who later became a psychologist, owned 2 candystores.
Carol has been performing as a puppeteer for over 12 years. She used to sing in bands, Folk Clubs and Pubs and has been entertaining audiences for many years.
