Carrie first joined the Foodbank Players when she brought her daughter, Lena, to audition for A Christmas Carol, and a little nudge from the directors led her to audition too. This marks her onstage debut, though her earlier theater involvement was in the orchestra pit for high school musicals more than twenty years ago. A lifelong musician, she spent a decade in marching bands, including playing tenor saxophone with the Northwestern University Marching Band. When not at rehearsal, Carrie can often be found biking around her hometown of El Cerrito and other neighboring towns.
