She first appeared in Dolphy's Angels with Liz Alindogan, Anna Marie Gutierrez, Yehlen Catral and the late comedy king Dolphy. She did more movies with Dolphy such as Stariray, The Quick Brown Fox, John en Marsha, Dancing Master, Dino Dinero, and Father & Son. Her last movie with Dolphy, was Dobol Trobol (2008) with Vic Sotto in 2008. She became a mainstay of Chicks to Chicks in 1980 on IBC-13 until its transfer to ABS-CBN 2 in 1986. She also did "Abangan ang Sususnod na Kabanata." With these sitcoms, she was able to hone her flair for comedy. She had a weekly drama anthology entitled "Carmi" on BBC-2, directed by Soxy Topacio from 1985-86, where she portrayed various characters and acted with other thespians. She also had a variety show with Roderick Pualate on Channel 2 (1986-87), "Tonight with Dick and Carmi." One film that showed her acting prowess was "Hot Property," directed by National Artist Lino Brocka as an entry to the 1983 Metro Manila Film Festival.

Despite being able to do dramas like Cain at Abel (1982); Laruan (1983); Bayan ko: Kapit ds Patalinm (1985); Bagong Hari (1986); Carmi excels prominently in comedy; the funny other woman in Andres de Saya (1982); the tactless office employee in Working Girls (1984); the disorganized but demanding woman in Sa Totoo Lang (1985); the sexy PE teacher in "Ma'am, May We Go Out" (1985); the wacky stepmother in "When I Fall in Love" (1986).
