She is married to Christian Kirk Miranda, a marine biologist by profession and photographer, and served as director of the National Tourism Service (Sernatur) in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic region. She is the mother of two daughters: Catalina and Alejandra.

Carolina Goic was elected president of the Christian Democratic Party in April 2016, following the resignation of Jorge Pizarro.[2]

On 11 March 2017 Carolina Goic was proclaimed by the Christian Democratic Party as presidential candidate in the Chilean general election.[3] On 29 April 2017, the PDC decided not to participate in a New Majority primary, breaking away from the coalition after 28 years.[4] On 11 May 2017 the PDC officially registered her candidacy before the Electoral Service of Chile ("Servel").[5] She obtained 5.88% of the vote, the worst result for a Christian Democrat running for president in a general election in Chilean history, and subsequently resigned as president in November 2017,[6] being replaced by Myriam Verdugo.[7]
