While attending UNC, she appeared as a leading role in Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Donna Anna), Handel’s Xerses (Romilda) and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi (Lauretta). Carol made her international opera debut in Bad Schwalbach, Germany, as Frasquita in Bizet's Carmen in 2005. Two years later, she made her American debut as the Sandman in DuPage Opera Theatre's 2007 production of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel and returned to Europe to perform the role of Frasquita once again in Germany and Holland. She returned to Europe in 2012 to perform the role of Poussette in Massenet's Manon at Versailles (Paris) and was a featured soloist in an open-air concert in Limburg, Germany.

Carol pursued music, drama and language studies at the University of Nebraska-Kearney, where she earned a B.A. in music and a German minor. She earned a M.M. in vocal performance and vocal pedagogy at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, then continued with two years of additional study at the Johannes Gutenberg Universitaet in Mainz, Germany (Musikwissenschaft, Theaterwissenschaft, and Deutsche Philologie). During her studies in Mainz, she served as "Regiehospitantin" (director's assistant) for the Mainzstaatstheater's production of Strauss' Salome, sang with the Mainzer Figuralchor, and served as faculty at the Johannes Gutenberg's School of Translation, Linguistics and Culture Studies located in Germersheim. Following her studies abroad, Carol worked in the Amelia Earhart Playhouse under the auspices of the U.S. Army’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division (MWR) in Wiesbaden, Germany.
