Post graduation, she joined Carolyn Dorfman Dance as an apprentice in September of 2012 and has been a full company member since 2013.

Throughout the years, she has additionally studied at several summer intensive programs such as American Ballet Theatre NY, Vancouver Arts Umbrella, Movement Invention Project, San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, and Northwest Dance Project LAUNCH 7. Caroline has had wonderful opportunities to teach both ballet and modern to students of all ages and backgrounds. Additionally, Caroline received her comprehensive Pilates Instructor certification from the Real Pilates Teacher Training Program in NYC in February 2019. After gaining so much from the faculty at NJDTE as a young student, she is thrilled to be able to return as a new member of the faculty of teaching artists.
