Hello
Mariana Novaes
So, let’s start off with the most important thing: I am a Gryffindor. Xo
​
Time to get serious. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and relocated to the U.S. at the age of fourteen. Talk about a massive life change. Since my early childhood years, I knew I wanted to be an actress. Something about being in other people’s shoes while being immersed in their emotions always moved me.
​
But there was a point in my life where I wanted to settle for something a bit more convenient. Criminal Justice came to mind! After a few months, I realized that I’d rather be the starving artist than do something I didn’t love. In 2011, I changed my major to video production and started taking acting classes and workshops in South Florida. That was the best decision of my life!
​
Since taking this bold step, I’ve had the privilege of expanding my network in the industry, working in various indie films, commercials, and series. And I definitely do not plan on stopping now! My passion for acting is ever-growing.
