Karla Telentino was born and raised in Trujillo and currently works as a TV presenter, but she hopes to move away from television once she graduates from medical school, to become a pediatrician. Medicine is her zeal, and she aspires to open her own clinic one day and help destitute children in her country. Music is important to Karla, who plays the flute, enjoys salsa dancing, and says Michael Jackson is her favourite artist.
