2020 - 2021
We all have had a rough year and a half (almost 2 years... oof) Marisa has been continuing to sing and act at home, started training in Voiceover work (and having a blast!), picking up learning American Sign Language, and got a stretchy/floofy kitten named Obie. Marisa hopes everyone is staying safe, well, and creative.
