It’s typically a boy’s dream-come-true to play a superhero. Yet Kelli Berglund, a beautiful, petite, and graceful young woman, is doing just that. Kelli stars in the Disney XD hit series Lab Rats as Bree, a bionic superhero created in a lab who navigates everyday teenage life with her bionic siblings. Kelli is a California native who started at the age of 4 with a passion to dance, training in ballet, tap, jazz, point, contemporary, and hip hop for years before hitting the Hollywood screen. But it’s not just as Bree that Kelli shines as a superhero; in her personal life she’s a spokesperson for the Audrey Hepburn Cares Team, donating her time and money to help abused and neglected children. It’s a charity she sought out on her own after reading a book on child abuse, realizing her celebrity status could help bring attention to this worthy cause.
In addition to Lab Rats, Kelli stars in the upcoming 2014 Disney Channel Original Movie How to Build a Better Boy opposite China Anne McClain. The two girls play best friends who try to create the perfect boyfriend with the help of a computer program.
