Caroline's initial move into broadcasting was around ten years ago when she became a reporter for BBC local radio in York. She was known as the station's action woman as she made many reports on such activities as parachute jumping, hot air balloon rides and rides in acrobatic planes.

After two years she joined British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) and became a DJ based in the Falklands, Cyprus, and Germany. She switched over to the television side of BFBS after a while where she presented a forces magazine-style programme and it was here that she met her husband.

Caroline then moved to BBC World Service TV as a Network Director and from there moved into independent production, working for the holiday programme 'Wish you were here'. She then joined the Weather Network and later the Weather Channel and trained as a Broadcast Meteorologist where she worked alongside other BBC Broadcast Meteorologists, Philip Avery and Carol Kirkwood. Caroline joined the BBC Weather Centre in August 2000 and left to pursue other interests in 2001.
