When professional athletes work with Parity, they want to work with someone who understands their experience and perspective. That’s where Karlie comes in.
A former captain of Stanford’s basketball team – which she twice helped guide to the NCAA Final Four. Karlie is still playing professional basketball in the WNBA and most recently in Australia after she spent seasons in Spain, Italy, and Belgium. At Parity, she leverages her playing experience and transition to the workforce to help other professional athletes who are trying to build their own careers.
Karlie’s parents met while playing professional basketball and netball, respectively, in the U.K., where she has citizenship. (She plays for Great Britain’s national basketball team.) She earned her B.S. from Stanford and an M.S. from Concordia University-Irvine in coaching and exercise science. She enjoys spending time with her three dogs, Lucy, Molly and Malibu.
