This show deeply engrained in Karli her love for musical theatre and acting. By age 10 she appeared in her first movie, a small featured role that filmed in Los Angeles.

While in LA she signed with Protégé Management and Coast to Coast Talent Group and has called LA her home away from home ever since.

Karli appeared on The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour and national commercials, one of her favorites being a caroler for the Old Navy Holiday Campaign. She debuted the role of Young Anna in the World Premiere of the musical, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, staged at the NoHo Arts Center in Los Angeles. She appeared as Susan in Irving Berlin’s White Christmas at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. She loved everyone she met in both shows and hopes to cross paths with all of them someday soon.
