Bella Karoli

Medley Bella Karoli

Bella's parents started her education a couple of years

before she started school. She began writing in 3rd

grade. Simple poems and stories branched into songs

and music about a year later. Being reared on opera and

German music fostered a lifelong interest in languages and

varied ethnic music. Friends of many faiths and nationalities

broadened both literary and musical interests and output

over the years. A seagull flying over a parking lot sparked

a series of stories about a friendship between a dog and a

bird. Taking a break from music and writing, Bella dove

into silversmithing and other forms of jewelry making, but

the death of a dear friend restarted poetry and composing.

She now lives in southern Nevada, writing poetry, songs,

and stories about whatever piques her creativity. Bella has

a BA in German, almost a degree in Music Therapy (needing to

work interened), and, most recently, a Master's degree in Special

Education, Mild to Moderate Disabilities.
