She studied acting at the Rostock University of Music and Theatre, where she graduated in 2018. She moved to Berlin as a freelance actress and realised her first film projects. She has performed at Rostocker Volkstheater and Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater, Akademie der Künste in Ludwigsburg, Bayerische Theaterakademie and worked with the Tacheles & Tarantismus collective in Heilbronn. From 2020 to 2023 she was an ensemble member at Junges Nationaltheater Mannheim. She returned to Munich as a freelance actress and voice-over artist in September 2023 and continues to make guest appearances at Nationaltheater Mannheim as well as the opera, sometimes as a presenter. In autumn 2024, she will make her first guest appearance at Junges Ensemble Stuttgart. Carmen has been a volunteer member of the Queer Film Festival Munich team since 2023 to support the queer community and curate great, important films.
