Career in television.
Dominicci began appearing in television commercials in the late 1980s. She represented Puerto Rico in various beauty pageants and international modeling competitions in the United States and Europe.
She pursued a career in television, first in theatrical plays and then in television miniseries, but she left that path to focus fully to her journalism studies.
In 1989 she married Puerto Rican actor Osvaldo Ríos with whom she had a son, Giuliano Ríos Dominicci. She and Osvaldo divorced in 1993.
In the 1990s, Carmen Dominicci became one of the most recognized news reporters in Puerto Rico thanks to her work on the Tele-Once Channel, and later as the presenter on WAPA-TV's prime time newscast.
Arrival at Telemundo.
In 1998, she signed a contract with Telemundo 47, New York, as a news anchor, position she held for four years, and in which she covered important events such as President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial, the inauguration of President George Bush and the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers, among others.

In 2009 Telemundo re-hired Dominicci as one of the main faces of the "Telemundo News" team in one of the best stages of the network, which by then was already part of the NBC conglomerate.
Their most important coverages included such major events as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the rescue of the 33 miners and the catastrophe of the earthquake and tsunami in Chile, both in 2010.
In 2011, she joined as a co-host and correspondent for the "Al Rojo Vivo" news program and joined the special investigative team of Noticias Telemundo, where she won several awards for the special ""Muriendo por Cruzar”", about immigration at the Mexican / American border. She also interviewed many well known personalities such as the soccer star David Beckham.
During one documentary Dominicci did for Telemundo and for The Weather Channel about immigration to the United States which was named "Muriendo Por Cruzar" ("Dying to Cross"), she had the gruesome experience of recording a scene in which she stood in front of a dozen dead people.
