[edit] Personal

Bickmore was born in Adelaide, South Australia, but moved to Perth, Western Australia with her family at a young age. ^[1] She studied journalism at Curtin University of Technology from 1998 to 2000.

[edit] Career

[edit] Radio

Bickmore started her career as the afternoon newsreader for Melbourne radio station Nova 100 and in 2002 she became co-host of Nova’s drive show. She was a 2005 Best News Presenter finalist in the Australian Commercial Radio Awards. ^[2] Bickmore and Rebecca Leahy accepted the award for Best Community Service Project - Metro, on behalf of Nova 100. ^[3] In 2007, Bickmore was appointed the breakfast newsreader on Hughesy and Kate on Nova 100.

[edit] Television

In 2006 Bickmore made her foray into television on the variety show Rove Live, presenting a news segment for each episode. Often the news stories relate to actual events, but end in a twist as the punch line. A running joke throughout the segment is Carrie's quirky introductions in which she adds a quip, often playing off of social trends, music and popular culture. In 2007 Bickmore returns to variety show Rove (TV Series) with her part increased to a more important part of the show.
