Carla was born in Sarasota, Florida. Moved with her mother to
Paradise, California, when Carla was just five years old. During
her childhood, they moved many times within the state. But she
remained a straight-A student throughout high school and graduated
as valedictorian. A major modeling agency discovered Carla in San
Diego and sent her to New York to begin a new career when she was
15. New York was more than she could handle at that young age, so
she returned to LA in the summer, modeling and enrolling in an
acting class at the suggestion of her aunt, Carol Merril, known
from "Let's Make a Deal.". During her free time, Carla enjoys yoga,
traveling and spending time with her friends in Los Angeles.
