KARLI HENRIQUEZ



VJ, "Karlifornia"



Karli Henriquez is the host of "Karlifornia," the newest offering from

MTV Tr3?s. The weekly one-hour show follows Karli throughout the West

coast as she uncovers Hollywood's latest happenings and the hottest

Latino trends and cultural events. She also brings viewers interviews

with their favorite artists and actors and everyone who is making a

mark in the City of Angels. Karli has been in love with L.A. her

entire life and is thrilled to share the city's secrets with MTV Tr3?s

viewers across the country.



Karli got her start in radio, first as an intern, then as a member of

the station's street team and ultimately as on-air talent for the JoJo

on the Radio program on KIIS-FM. She sees herself as an inspiration to

young Latinas who are chasing their dreams just as she is doing.



Karli gets her own inspiration from role models such as Jennifer Lopez

and Oprah Winfrey for their entertainment success, hard work,

leadership and influence on other people and most of all, from her

abuelita, who is her heroine.



Raised in a Mexican and Salvadoran family, Karli grew up listening to

Vicente Fernandez, Celia Cruz and New Kids on the Block. Today she

fills her iPod with tunes by artists such as Belanova, Calle 13 and

Kanye West.



Away from work Karli likes shopping, dancing, reading, having some

occasional outdoor adventures and spending time with her family.

Finding new restaurants, clubs and places to visit are also among her

favorite pastimes.



Karli was raised in Hollywood, California until moving to the San

Fernando Valley where she graduated from Reseda High School and currently pursuing her college degree.
