She is the creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the animated television series Primos.

She spent summers with her multicultural, and extended, Mexican-American family. She later told Variety that, at age 3, she was inspired by the animated video for Tom Petty's "Runnin’ Down a Dream" to become an animator. Kline made her first animated film in high school with a camcorder using VHS tapes, later describing it was "the most horrible way to animate...but it was a film." In March 2023, Klein said that she watched shows on MTV and Nickelodeon as a kid, such as Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, Æon Flux, Looney Tunes, and musical features by Disney Corporation. Kline attended Cal State Fullerton, where she studied illustration. She later got a degree in animation at the California Institute of the Arts.
