Karli Devoe was born and raised in Olympia, Wash. After completing her undergrad degree in Race Studies at The Evergreen State College she worked as a Spanish Medical Interpreter for several years. While working as an interpreter with Industrial Rehab clients, Karli concluded that there should be more Spanish-speaking providers in the healthcare field. She began to think about a career change and going back to school. Her younger sister was studying Occupational Therapy at Eastern Washington University and casually mentioned to Karli that she should consider OT, and the rest is history.

Karli earned her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from EWU and has been a practicing occupational therapist for the past four years. Much of her experience has been working with skilled nursing rehab patients but she has also spent time working in Home Health, Industrial Rehab, Hand Therapy, Acute Care and Pediatric Rehab.
