Hi, I'm Marisa...
I'm a Florida-based writer and editor with six years of professional experience crafting creative content and immersive live entertainment for internationally recognized brands.
My Story
After studying in Rome, London, and Greece, I graduated summa cum laude from Hollins University with a B.A. in Creative Writing. For my short story Pieman, I was awarded the Hollins Fiction Prize, as well as the James Purdy Prize for my collection of speculative fiction Regions Unexplored and Potentially Dangerous. After college, I moved to Florida where helped develop show scripts and theme park events for Disney Live Entertainment.
Since then, I have worked on a wide range of projects—from blog copy and children’s picture books to award-winning web commercials, video game cutscenes, and non-fiction stories. Currently, I work for Disney Experiences as a writer and editor, crafting online content for Walt Disney World Resort, the Disneyland Resort, National Geographic Expeditions, and Adventure by Disney.
When I'm not writing or thinking about writing, I'm reading and drinking too much tea. I love travel, and I'm always happy to chat about my adventures abroad, my obsession with Star Wars, K-dramas, or my latest read.
