Mariana is an actor and content producer. After graduating from prestigious Scripps College for Women she moved to Los Angeles to train at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and with teachers Elaine Craig, Rick Wasserman, Stan Zimmerman, and Margie Haber.

In between auditions, Mariana worked as a script reader for Filmnation Entertainment under Karen Lunder, produced events, cast non-union projects, and assisted at Almond Talent Agency. After gaining a better understanding of the industry as a whole and honing her skills, she made the cross-country leap to pursue the opportunities promised in the "Hollywood of the South". Upon her arrival she finished the 6-month Meisner program at Rob Mello Studio and continues her on-camera training at Arvold Warner and Mornell Studios.
