Karli West Denton
Karli lives in Mesa, Arizona. She loves the heat, the desert, the sunsets, and the rainstorms. Karli married her 9th-grade crush in 2013, and they are raising their kids just a few blocks from where they both grew up. While being a stay-at-home-mom, she uses her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance by teaching voice lessons in her home during the week and singing with community choirs every chance she gets. After long days full of dance parties, dirty diapers, kissing owies, and mediating who gets the blue plate, Karli can be found with Cowboy Fries and Dr. Pepper, surrounded by a mountain of art supplies.
