Born and raised in the small beach town of Cape May, NJ. Carrie has been on the stage since the age of 4. She began her studies aCt the Jersey Cape Performing Arts School. After joining their company at the age of 8, Carrie made her way into the competition circuit where she earned recognition and many titles (including Miss Starpower).

Carrie started her career at the age of 16; her first break came in Barry Lather’s Retro Active, after such she found herself cruising the world and choreographing shows for Paramount.

Carrie made the move to NYC, where she continued her success in the dance world as well as branching out into other fields of the entertainment industry. After choreographing tours and club shows for many artists, Carrie was asked to start artist development for major record label showcases. As result seeing her clients signed to such labels as Sony and Ministry of Sound.

After many successful years in NYC, multiple television appearances, national commercials, and print campaigns she decided to test the waters in Los Angeles. L.A. placed new goals and challenges in Carrie's path. She entered the world of commercial hip-hop, something that was not as prominent on the east coast and after a year of consistent training she started assisting and teaching along side one of hip hop's top teachers.
