Caroline was born in Illinois and lived in several states including: Tennessee, Kansas, Georgia and Florida. She received her BA in English Literature and Communications at Mercer University. Caroline and her husband, Matthew, met when they were 15 years old. While they were friends throughout high school and kept in touch through college and in their 20s, they reconnected shortly after turning 30. When dating, they were grateful to attend a church in Jacksonville, where they were able to fully surrender their lives to Christ and begin their marriage in a covenant with Him. 

Caroline and Matthew prayed fervently for a church home in Venice for many years after moving from Jacksonville and felt a calling to join The Bridge Church after serving with the Forward Initiative team in the fall of 2020.
