ABOUT ME

After an atypical upbringing in Las Vegas and years abroad, Carli moved to New York to pursue acting. She immediately began intensive training with Sheila Gray, building a strong foundation in sensory work, scene study, and improvisation. A year later she had her on screen debut in 'Everything is Fine', directed by Jared Royal, produced by Ridley Scott Associates, released on NOWNESS. Since then, she has continued to build her resume as both an actress and producer and transferred her training to the highly esteemed Bob Krakower Studio.

Carli’s strength lies in her ability to be free and spontaneous on camera, creating natural, authentic performances. She credits this to her selective training and wealth of real-world experience. Having lived in places like Hawaii, Honduras, and Tanzania and worked as a mechanic, sailor, and instructor, she brings depth and originality to every role.

Without a traditional conservatory background, Carli has carved her own path, defined by talent and discipline. For her, acting is a lifelong pursuit of exploration, artistry, and continuous growth.
