After quitting her corporate job at Meredith (one of the biggest publishing houses in the world), Karla moved back from NYC to Des Moines, Iowa, took a chance on herself and went into freelance writing full-time. Since then, she's become wildly successful, placing her stories in giants like Better Homes and Gardens, Allrecipes,  Food & Wine, EatingWell, TIME, Travel + Leisure, Shape, etc. To us, Karla is the walking example of what authenticity and kindness can do for your career.

Fun Fact: She is also a level one sommelier, which works wonders for her writing in places like Food & Wine!
