Originally from Barcelona but raised in Latin America, Marina is fluent in Spanish, Catalan, English, and French, with mastery of over 10 Spanish dialects. Now based in NYC, she has a strong foundation in on-camera acting, holding a degree from Pace Univerity in Acting for Film, TV, Commercial, and Voice-Over.

Having moved frequently, Marina has developed a global perspective that deeply influences her work. With a strong foundation in film, she is currently in the exciting post-production phase of a behind-the-scenes documentary she directed for the upcoming French film Plus fort que le diable by Graham Guit, featuring renowned talents such as Melvil Poupaud, Marine Vacht, Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Asia Argento and Raïka Hazanavicious.
Through her personal filmmaking projects and auteur work, Marina focuses on female-led stories that challenge traditional narratives and showcase the non-normative aspects of female behavior. This commitment is exemplified in her short film proposal GROSS, a 16mm silent short film where she explored the medium to address gender inequality and present the female gaze in a positive, non-victimized light.
Marina has always had a deep sensitivity towards music. Under her creative singer persona MARINSS, she has released the song "Christmas Dinner," which you can check out on all major music platforms or catch its music video on YouTube, which she also directed.
Whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes, Marina is dedicated to storytelling that captivates and inspires. Aside from her BFA, Marina holds a BA in Film from Pace University in New York City and has base in both NYC and Barcelona allowing her to work between the U.S. and Europe.
