She pursued her education in Geography at University College Cork (UCC) and later completed a Master of Science in Agricultural Science with a focus on Environmental Resource Management at University College Dublin (UCD).

With a strong urge to travel and explore opportunities abroad, Carol gained valuable experience in landscaping across the USA.
