For the majority of Caroline’s life, you could most likely find her at or near a stage. She was introduced to the arts by her mother, who teaches high school theatre. She first started directing in the academic setting when Caroline was 5 years old. She vividly remembers being taken to her mother’s one-act production of Mary Zimmerman’s Arabian Nights. After that, Caroline was in every rehearsal and at every show her mother would allow her to watch. 

Caroline is an alumnus of the University of Georgia where she received a Bachelor of Arts in both Theatre and Entertainment Media. She split her time between theatrical direction, cinema direction, and administration. While there, she was also passionate about taking as many extra Women's Studies, English, and Sociology classes as she could fit into her schedule.

Caroline’s main focus is directing of all kinds, but she has a passion for teaching and production administration. She helped establish and served as the senior advisor for the theatre student group, Ars Gratia Artis, at the University of Georgia. The group, which is focused on revolutionary work that pushes the boundary of what we consider “classical theatre”, was created with the intention of providing more opportunities for UGA students to attend and participate in innovative theatre. The organization is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for students to get involved with theatre. Caroline has also worked closely with an organization in her hometown with a similar goal. The Harris Arts Summer Camp was created with the intention of teaching young students, ages 6-16, about the arts, as well as creating an artistic safe space for students to explore freely during the summer. With the exception of show selection and funds management, Caroline served as the overall caretaker and director of the camp. Summer of 2023 will mark the first year Caroline will not be in attendance at the camp, and is excited to see how far it continues to grow in the next few years. 

Caroline is specialized in the areas of environmental theatre, new works, experimental and interactive theatre, as well as with new media. She particularly enjoys working with pieces of art that serve as artistic forms of protest, center on LGBTQ+ stories, and any forms of educational theatre. Caroline has several passions that serve alongside her passion for the arts, including political advocacy. She organized her first protest in the 6th grade when there were threats of creating“alphabetical lunch tables”. In 2020 she worked with the Jon Osoff and Raphael Warnock campaigns as a canvasser and has continued to find ways to be a social activist. She also enjoys hobbies such as photography, cooking, and film watching. Some of her biggest artistic influences are film directors Hayao Miyazaki and Greta Gerwig, as well as theatre directors Julie Taymour and Rachel Chavkin. When away from the stage, Caroline can be found hosting one of her many game night parties or on a date with herself at the movie theater.
