At age 3, Mariana decided to follow in her big sister’s footsteps and begged her mom to enroll her in ballet classes. A few weeks after classes began, she was kicked out for being too dramatic. Ages 3-6 were filled with every activity, in hopes she would find something she loved. Mariana finally began voice lessons at 6 and was hooked. Soon after, she began musical theatre and after her debut performance as Iago in Aladdin, she knew she wanted to perform forever.

Mariana recently graduated from Point Park University with her BFA in Musical Theatre. In her spare time she enjoys baking (chocolate chip cookies and cake), traveling, hanging out with her nephews, and trying to bring back the selfie! She is super excited to explore this next chapter of life and see what’s next.
