Karla was born and raised in Michigan. She has been a Spartan fan all her life. Karla attended high school in the area which afforded her the opportunity to attend productions at MSU. Though not a performer herself, she enjoys watching those who are. Her favorite theatrical production recently changed from Phantom of the Opera to Wicked (at Wharton July 2007). Karla brings to Theatre an Executive MBA in Business Administration and years of business experience on and off campus.
