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 is currently finishing up her Musical Theatre BFA at Point Park University, in PIttsburgh, PA. She was most recently seen as Paulette, in Legally Blonde (dir. Mara Greer.) She is so excited to graduate and see whats next!
