Embedded Files
I’m a writer, producer, and actor passionate about stories that explore faith, mental health, and human connection. Over the past several years, I’ve been developing feature and short films, blending poetic visual storytelling with heartfelt character-driven narratives. My work reflects a lifelong curiosity, a love for small details, and a commitment to creating art that resonates emotionally and spiritually.
I trained in dance and voice, studied improv, and honed my craft in theater and film over the past few decades, including a supporting role in Dreamin’ Wild (2022), where I worked with a talented ensemble cast. My personal experiences with OCD and faith deeply inform my storytelling, helping me approach characters and narratives with authenticity, nuance, and empathy.
Professional Highlights
External feedback from collaborators and mentors highlights my work as both a performer and writer:

“Really great job. You were very present. You had me leaning forward to hear what you would say next.” – Casting Director
“Cari… I am only on page 81 and have gotten more chills than I can even count. I cried, laughed, related to, ached for, longed and lived alongside Flora. Your script is transcendent.” – Fellow Writer
“I haven’t stopped thinking about the characters—they’re all really well done, and you’ve brought OCD to life with insight and care.” – Writer / Producer
