December 2018 Model of the Month - Carol!
I was involved in the Miss America Pageant Program for several years. For the talent portion of the competitions I performed Kata (a fighting flow dancing sequence) against imaginary attackers. Being involved in the pageant scene and winning local titles eventually led to getting representation.
I started going on auditions for soap opera work and modeling gigs. In fact, when I started working at NBC News, The David Letterman Show had a talent contest for their employees and I was one out of ten selected to perform live on The David Letterman Show. I still have the performance on tape, it has been a great memory.
When I was attending Sarah Lawrence College I was cast as the lead in Charlotte Corday in The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul which was indeed a highlight! I also worked as a segment producer for NBC News and was a producer and on-camera talent for Bloomberg L.P.
I received my Masters in theatre at SLC later in life and it was an amazing experience! It was a two year full time program where I studied acting, play writing, and directing. I've been producing and performing for most of my life. Now I audition regularly for commercials and still enjoy taking commercial and voice over workshops.
In the summer I love to row on my lake in my backyard with friends. I'm an avid exercise enthusiast and spin at least 4 or 5 times a week. I'd also love to pick up my guitar again and really learn how to play!
Yoga is another hobby of mine. I recently received my yoga instructor certification and have been teaching yoga semi part time. I love helping woman and men get stronger and more flexible. I also have private clients that come to my in-home studio.
To be a successful commercial, film and stage actress and continue to give back with the volunteer I do with The Open Door Foundation, a family and wellness center for those in need.
