A little about me below:
----

Hello! I'm Maria. Years ago, I had the opportunity to attend Anthony Meindl's studio in NYC by chance (and I put it off for several months because somewhere I could sense that it would change a lot for me). During my first class, something resonated so deeply that fast forward a year or so later, I moved to LA to pursue acting.

Training:
Anthony Meindl NYC & LA Studios
Margie Haber's Advanced and Master Intensives
Graduated UCB
Killian's commercial & callback workshops
Private coaching

When I'm not acting, I've also been a healer for a decade, so you know that makes me very present, a good listener and energetically responsive. Being a professional intuitive also gives me a keen awareness of what is needed in the scene.

More about me:
Graduated NYU with a BA in Psychology
Graduated NYU Tisch with an MA in Film Studies
I turned down an offer to attend Harvard for a PhD when I had a spontaneous and violent spiritual awakening-- the path that it led me down basically afforded me a PhD in applied Psychology and I do not regret it. All of these studies and insights into the human condition inform my approach to acting/film, and I can help you with it too!

I love to celebrate your good news. Reach out to let me know about callbacks and bookings
