About Me
Marina is an actor, singer, and dancer from Schenectady, NY. A recent graduate of Florida State University with a BFA in music theatre, she is now based in Atlanta, GA while she concentrates on acting for film and TV.
Marina realized her passion for the arts at a very young age. As the youngest of three girls, she wanted to do everything her sisters did, which led to her being fully enrolled in dance classes by the time she was 6. More than just an after-school activity, dance provided endless opportunities to access a wide range of emotions, and introduced her to the art of storytelling. Equally as important, it instilled a level of discipline and work ethic which has carried into her work as an actor. Eventually Marina got into musical theatre and booked her first professional job at age 10. She quickly discovered she could do what she loved for a living, and became determined to make it happen. At Florida State University, Marina was inspired every day by her teachers, directors and classmates. During her senior year, an on-camera acting class helped her realize a new passion for film and television. While her focus has shifted towards straight acting, her love of musicals is certainly not dead and she continues to train her voice and dance as much as her schedule allows. Marina strives to be a life-long learner, and knowing she is in a profession where she will never stop growing is what keeps her going. |
