Carrie was born in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire. She started performing at a young age making her professional debut with The Scottish Ballet aged 8. As a child she loved to entertain with impromtu performances. Essentially, she loved telling stories. And this is really how it all began. She quickly moved into 'writing books' with her first attempt 'Battet For Rosie', made in hardback and self illustrated, winning her much classroom acalim.  Today as a fully fledged professional author and actress, having appeared in numerous West End shows and having worked with the likes of Sheila Hancock and Whoopi Goldberg, she loves to explore people and their relationships - what makes them tick, what drives them, what their hopes, dreams and aspirations are. What flaws they have and how they are imperfect. She thrills in discovering the different dynamics between people. Ultimately that’s what the job of acting is.  Normal.dotm 0 0 1 83 478 UBS 3 1 587 12.0 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;} As a writer this can be taken to another level and she uses her own experiences to create characters with real identity, dysfunction and idiosyncrasy.
