It was clear at the tender age of three years old that Kari was destined to pursue a career in show-biz. When She would watch "Family Affair" on TV, She'd pretend to be Buffy. By the time Kari was 13, She was studying acting and making the rounds of auditions in New York City. She was quickly signed by the Ford Model Talent Agency and split her time appearing in TV Commercials and acting on soap operas & Off-Broadway plays. Her first feature film was in "fire With Fire" playing VIginia Madsen's best friend. Music was an equal passion to acting and Kari started her own punk rock band called Fruedian Slip and played in clubs like CBGB's.

Her big TV break was landing co-hosting duties for MTV's Game Show "remote Conrtol" and being a VJ (Video Jockey) for the Network. This lead to a role in Andrew Dice Clay's Movie "Ford Fairlane" which She credits as her big Movie break and a career change. Her music aspirations would be put on hold while Kari focused on her acting career full-time. She appeared in over 40 theatrical films including "The Crossing Guard" and "Eight Legged Freaks". Kari has starred in several TV Series including "Swamp Thing", "Sliders" and "General Hospital" and released her debut CD Album entitled "Shiny".
