Karli traveled to Ireland to earn her MA Journalism from the University of Limerick, where she discovered a passion for video storytelling. She started as an intern at Central Oregon Daily News in Bend, Oregon in 2020. She became the station's first ever morning show producer, and eventually moved into an on-air reporter role. In 2023, she was nominated for a Northwest Regional Emmy Award in the Multimedia Journalist category.
