ABOUT KARLA
Karla is a passionate self-starter who is motivated by her appreciation for good written communication and people. She is a proud alumna of Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor's degree in English, with a certificate in Creative Writing, and a Communication Studies minor.
Through her college career, she worked at the NAU Art Museum. Then in 2020, Karla began working for University of Phoenix.
2020 was a year of unprecedented times for nearly all of us. Karla's wellness practices became survival tools. Yoga, reading writing and nature walks, they became more than a hobbies, but tools.
2020 and 2021 were years of coping, and also years of great professional and personal growth.
