Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, Maria always knew that she wanted to be an actress. From the age of thirteen she began studying dance and music in addition to her regular studies in school, and in 2020 she graduated from St. Lawrence College in Ontario, Canada with an Advanced Certificate in Musical Theatre. This year she will be graduating from IT Sligo with a Bachelor’s Degree (Hons) in Performing Arts, where she experienced new perspectives from a variety of teachers.
She feels that the acting techniques she has learned in this program have thoroughly expanded her skills as a performer and will aid her greatly in her future professional opportunities. Along with her many theatre credits, she is also very active in the TV and Film industry, having worked on productions such as the Netflix show Locke and Key and A24 film The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson.
