Career Beginnings
Kelli’s career started in 2007, when she was chosen for the part of Joy at 13 Years Old in the Primetime Emmy Award-winning TV comedy series “My Name is Earl”. She reprised the role of Joy two years later.

Rise to Stardom
Kelli’s early hard work and dedication was rewarded in 2010, when she was selected for the part of Jennifer 2 in the TV musical comedy series “Big Time Rush”, and over three years appeared in 17 episodes of the popular TV series.
This made her rather famous, and she was able to secure a couple of other notable roles, as Kim in the TV series “Hollywood Heights” (2012), and Skylar Reid in the television movie “Sexting in Suburbia”, co-starring Liz Vassey, Ryan Kelley and Jenn Proske.
Her next role was as Courtney Sloane in the eponymous daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless”.
She originated the role of Courtney, an undercover cop who develops a romantic relationship with Noah Newman; her character was killed off just a day before her and Noah’s wedding, but she received positive critiques for her on-screen work as Courtney.
Kelli next portrayed Heather in 33 episodes of the Primetime Emmy Award-winning comedy western-drama series “The Ranch”, with Ashton Kutcher, Sam Elliott, and Grady Lee Richmond in the lead roles. She was a brief love interest of Ashton Kutcher’s character, and once again received rave reviews for her work, but was again deprived of any award, however, the role was just enough to launch her to international stardom.
To speak further of her accomplishments, Kelli portrayed Ally in an episode of the TV series “Speechless” in 2017, then the gfollowing year she joined the cast of the TV medical-drama series “Grey’s Anatomy”, as Laura.
Most recently, she was selected for the part of Vanessa in the TV comedy series “United States of Al” (2021-2022), which follows the adventures of Al, an interpreter from Afghanistan who moves to Columbus, Ohio, portrayed by South African actor Adhir Kalyan.
The series received mixed reviews, primarily due to its humor, cliches, prejudices, and the fact that an Afghani character is played by an Indo-South African actor with a fake accent. However, the series also received high praise for its attempts to diversify television, and the pilot episode received a nomination for Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program.
Kelli appeared in 19 out of 29 episodes, and her character, Vanessa, was praised by fans, and many identified with her, as she is divorced and raising her daughter alone.
