I’m Marissa, and I’m a Bi-Coastal actor, singer, dancer, and choreographer, currently based in New York City. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and grew up training as a technical ballet, jazz, and tap dancer at The Performing Arts Center, LA County High School For The Arts, and Edge PAC. At age 15 I went to my first pre professional summer intensive at Ballet Chicago, and the following summer at the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, where I expanded my contemporary dance learnings.

I received my BA in Musical Theatre/Minor in Dance from Point Park University, in Pittsburgh, PA. Since then, I’ve performed regionally at theatres such as Musical Theatre West, The Rubicon, and The Broadwater. Most recently I was the assoicate choreographer to Chryssie Whitehead in the Step’s Industry Showcase in New York City.
