Karley grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she discovered her love for music, storytelling, and the musical theatre community at a very young age. She graduated from  the acclaimed Northwest School of the Arts in Charlotte in 2016; and she now attends East Carolina University, where she will graduate with a BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Musical Theatre in May of 2020. Along with performing, Karley loves spending time with family and friends, volunteering in her community, and reading every anthology and piece by J. R. R Tolkien she can get her hands on. Karley believes that the arts is the heartbeat of humanity and the theatre is the place to find endless truth, joy, and empathy. There is no other community she would rather be a part of, and she cannot wait to embark into the professional world!
