Emerging Creative Industries Professional, Film/Theater Producer, Photographer, and Recent Emerson College Graduate.

Born and raised in Nyack, NY, Marina has been immersed in the arts from an early age, studying film, music, dance, theater, acting, and writing. Her lifelong passion for creativity led her to Emerson College, where she earned a B.A. in Business of Creative Enterprises, a program that blends entertainment business, marketing, creative development, and strategy. She complemented her degree with minors in Music History & Culture and Art History, expanding her knowledge across multiple artistic disciplines.

At Emerson, Marina became an active member of the student film and theater community, contributing to numerous projects as a producer, assistant director, and casting director. Beyond campus, she gained hands-on professional experience through three internships that spanned different sectors of the entertainment industry. As a development intern at Braven Films, she analyzed scripts, wrote coverage, and supported producers with organizational tasks. At the historic Emerson Colonial Theater (Ambassador Theatre Group), she worked alongside the administrative and marketing teams, contributing to production meetings, drafting social media content, and managing financial documentation. Most recently, as a public relations intern at The Brand Agency in Los Angeles, she supported publicity campaigns for major clients—including Disney, Paramount, Hulu, Alo Yoga, and Sephora—through press tracking, media research, influencer outreach, and event support.

These diverse experiences not only deepened her understanding of the entertainment and arts industries but also helped her refine her professional goals. A recent graduate, Marina is now seeking full-time opportunities in New York City and Boston within entertainment, the arts, and related creative fields.
