Cara-Anne was born in New York City and grew up in Stamford, Connecticut. She and her family moved to Jackson, Tennessee in the summer of 2002. At eight years old, she learned to play the mountain dulcimer. Several years and instruments later she took up the keyboard. Cara-Anne's first album, Do You Hear What I Hear?, was produced in 1999. Cara-Anne has been a regular part of the praise-and-worship music in church for many years. Shortly after arriving in Jackson she was introduced to the Jackson Area Plectral Society. They put a violin in her hands and she has been fiddling with them ever since. Cara-Anne was privileged to play with the Plectral Society on one of the group's albums, and also in the Schoolhouse Sessions 2 DVD that was recorded at Ellis Truett's schoolhouse in Lizard Lick.
Cara-Anne is a recent graduate of Union University and has received her bachelor's degree in nursing. She currently works in a local critical care unit. She has been to Russia four times on mission trips and believes that God has a call on her life to be a medical missionary to Russia - hopefully in the capacity of nurse midwife.
