Carrie’s passion is helping others find freedom and joy through the art of singing and songwriting. Whether in a group setting or one-on-one, Carrie specializes in helping her students find their own voice, confidence and artistry, whether singing as a hobby to those who seek to perform professionally. Carrie's breadth of experience as a performing artist gives her first-hand knowledge to equip her students for success. With an M.Ed degree in curriculum and instruction, she is well versed in creating programs to suit the needs of her students, bridging the gap from the studio to the professional stage. Carrie's studio works in conjunction with Moonlight Stage Company, an arts and entertainment hub and training center in the Raleigh area.
Carrie's private voice and songwriting students have gone on to prestigious music and songwriting programs such as Berklee, USC, Belmont, Grammy Camp and more.
