Inspiring Creativity Through Collaboration

Hi, I’m Marissa! I’ve spent my life exploring the art of storytelling and helping others find their voice. Whether through acting, writing, directing or teaching, I’m here to help artists and creators dive deeper into their craft and connect authentically with their work—and their audiences.

In short…

I grew up in the theater, enchanted by the magic of collaboration and storytelling. At 18, I moved to Los Angeles, where I trained in the Meisner technique with Joanne Baron & D.W. Brown. Those early years were filled with lessons on persistence and vulnerability, performing in indie films with visionary directors like Andrew Thomas Huang and Adam Deyoe. Along the way, I also modeled for sustainable brands like Louise Green and Aloxxi, embracing collaboration across creative fields.

After relocating to the Pacific Northwest to raise my daughter, I began channeling my love for storytelling into writing and teaching. From developing scripts and directing surreal music videos to mentoring students in acting, my goal has always been to empower others to embrace their creativity, follow inspiration, and share their truth.

Building Community

In addition to my creative work, I’m deeply passionate about fostering supportive environments for women and children. As the founder of Mommune®, I’m building communities where mothers can connect, collaborate, and thrive together. Mommune® is dedicated to redefining modern motherhood through shared resources and mutual support.

Why I do what I do?

Creativity exists in each of us and has the power to transform and heal our lives. Whether you’re stepping into a role, writing a script, or simply trying to connect with your audience, the key is authenticity. My approach is rooted in emotional connection, self-awareness, and treating yourself as the instrument of your craft with daily devotion. I’m here to help you not just perform—but to thrive in your creative expression.
