It all started in Montana, thanks to an inspired English teacher who encouraged Marie to join "Speech & Debate." Since then, her creativity and storytelling has spread from the classroom to LA stages, Southeast sets, her church theatre, sound booths, and beyond.

Marie has performed in several commercials including those for McDonalds, Ford, Georgia Lottery, Hormel, and Universal Studios. Her on screen work can also be seen on Netflix, NBC, BET+, OWN and other networks. When not acting, she trains young actors in her class "Shine Like Stars Acting," plays princesses and other animated characters for kid's parties, and daily plays the best leading role ever: MOM of her own who two littles whom she also homeschools.
