After attending Queen’s Gate, Reica undertook a Technical Theatre course at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Her seventeen year career in professional theatre embraced a variety of roles from stage manager to producer, but never one on the stage.
Following a break to raise her two children, Reica attended Kingston University where she took a BA and MA in English. At the same time she worked as a writing advisor and mentor for fellow students. Latterly she set up and ran a writing centre at the University’s Business School, where she enjoyed working with students across a range of nationalities, cultures and abilities. Reica is a keen advocate for developing critical thinking skills. She is currently acting as a consultant to another university to help improve their student outcomes. Her outside interests include entertainment of all kinds, from opera to Ozark.

Carol was appointed a Queen’s Counsel in 2021. Carol lives in London with her husband, two daughters and an assortment of pets.
