Biography
Nineteen-year-old Carrie Berk already has a life's worth of accomplishments under her belt. It's no wonder Bella Magazine declared her "an ambitious and dedicated boss babe," and The Wall Street Journal dubbed her "a community-minded young creator." She is a verified content creator across several social media channels including TikTok, Instagram, Triller, and Pinterest, with a monthly engagement of more than 70M. And that's just the beginning...
Carrie stars in the Paramount+ reality show Next Influencer airing in January 2022. She plays "Karina" in the Brat TV series Stage Fright. She is a bestselling children's book author with 21 books to her credit and penned her first book Peace, Love & Cupcakes, when she was in second grade. The Cupcake Club series went on to publish 12 books (selling 300,000+ copies worldwide), and became an award-winning Off-Broadway show and featured selection in 2017's New York Musical Festival. Carrie not only co-wrote the script for the show, but starred in it as well, earning her critical praise and a NYMF award for Outstanding Individual Performance.
Carrie's second book, Fashion Academy, stems from her passion for fashion. The six-book series also became an Off-Broadway production at Vital Theatre and is currently licensed worldwide by Concord Music Publishing. Her most recent series, Ask Emma (Bonnier Publishing), springs not just from her boundless imagination, but from her personal experience as a teen lifestyle website creator and someone who has experienced cyberbullying firsthand.

Besides covering fashion, beauty, food, health, entertainment and places/spaces, the site features "Carrie's Q & A," a series of inspirational interviews with today's celebrities, creators, and movers/shakers. Carrie has written over 500 articles on the blog.
