Early life
Karbowski was born in Sugar Land, Texas.[1][5] She attended Kempner High School (where fellow graduate Ashley Spillers also attended) and later University of Houston briefly where she majored in theater.[6][7][8]
Career
Karbowski started her acting career in theater productions such as Little Shop of Horrors, Seussical, and Pirates of Penzance in Houston, Texas.[citation needed] While playing Janet in a local stage production of The Rocky Horror Show, she was noticed by a director from ADV Films. Her start into the anime business occurred in 2004, when she was asked to be an extra in the series Gantz.[9][10] By December 2006 she stated that Fuko from Gilgamesh was her favorite dub as she thought the character was "cute and wicked, but wicked in a good way".[6] She eventually received starring roles as Himeko Katagiri in Pani Poni Dash and as Aoba Tsuzaki in Jinki: Extend through her work at ADV Films.[6][11] Karbowski started voicing for Funimation in 2007 with a starring role as Mai in Itsudatte My Santa!.[12] She also expanded her voice acting to other venues when she voiced her first video game character in 2007 as Pinkun in Akiba's Beat.[13] ADV Films ultimately ceased operations in 2008, and several properties were transferred to Funimation.[14] It was also during this time that she voiced the lead heroine Ayu Tsukimiya in Kanon after the title transfer had taken place.[15] Karbowski has since dubbed dozens of characters including both major and minor roles through Funimation.
