"I knew that my daughter was ready to start her professional acting career but I just didn't know where to begin. I was overwhelmed and frustrated by all of the conflicting information online. Meeting Marie changed everything for us! Her firsthand knowledge of the industry gave me the answers and guidance I needed. Marie's willingness to share her experiences has enabled me to support my daughter throughout the auditioning and casting process. Because of Marie's guidance, we were able to understand how to choose the right agent and get her career started. Not only is Marie an incredible resource, but she's a warm and wonderful person too!" ~Amy Glass
