A graduate in kinesiology from Universidad Mayor and a former student of Liceo Experimental Manuel de Salas, Carolina had been skydiving since 2013 and had also excelled in diving, achieving achievements at the South American level. Her work as a chiropractor and physiotherapist complemented her sporting activities.
