About Me

Marissa grew up in a small town on the south shore of Massachusetts.  With big dreams and determination, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an education and career in the entertainment industry.  While earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in World Arts & Cultures with a dance concentration at UCLA, she started working in production on tv commercials, while simultaneously pursuing her dance career.  Fifteen years later she has been successful in both endeavors. 

From production managing high-profile multi-million dollar commercials, to small made-for-web shoots, or choreographing for film and visual art, Marissa does it all! She is passionate about working both sides of her brain; Marissa knows her way around an excel spreadsheet and a budget, as well as having a talent for creating movement for the camera.  Her expertise behind and in front of the camera makes her an invaluable collaborator for any production company or director.  When she’s not working at her standup desk, you can find her rock climbing in the Southern Sierras, taking ice cold plunges in mountain creeks, or traveling to remote destinations around the world.
