About Mary

I am a Toronto actor and writer with an eclectic background: Tried my hand at fashion design, which led me to graphic design where I found a home working primarily in print media. Raised a family, jumped into my childhood dream of acting and managed to book professional jobs in film, TV shows and commercials as well as live theatre productions. When my 18 year-old daughter left to backpack Europe (nine months of no sleep for me!), the idea for my first screenplay, The Rain in Spain, was born. I fell in love with the craft and have been at it ever since, honing my skills with workshops and online courses.

I've optioned two short screenplays, one of which is in production.
