Hello
Mariana Novaes
So, let’s start off with the most important thing: I am a Gryffindor. Xo
Time to get serious. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and relocated to the U.S. at the age of fourteen. Talk about a massive life change. Since my early childhood years, I knew I wanted to be an actress. Something about being in other people’s shoes while being immersed in their emotions always moved me.
But there was a point in my life where I wanted to settle for something a bit more convenient. Criminal Justice came to mind! After a few months, I realized that I’d rather be the starving artist than do something I didn’t love. In 2011, I changed my major to video production and started taking acting classes and workshops in South Florida. That was the best decision of my life!
Since taking this bold step, I’ve had the privilege of expanding my network in the industry, working in various indie films, commercials, and series. And I definitely do not plan on stopping now! My passion for acting is ever-growing.
