Notes

Carolyn is an Auckland-based actor and writer who also works as a specialist anaesthetist, with medicine being her first career. Her love for acting emerged from a deep passion for storytelling, which she sees as a powerful way to connect, understand, and empower others. She has recently had a guest appearance on Shortland Street. Fluent in Mandarin, Carolyn is currently developing her own short film and play. She was selected as one of 8 filmmakers to participate in the 2026 Show Me Shorts Film Lab.
