Maggie is a professional actor, writer, designer, and director with over two decades of experience performing and creating. While her roots are in the Southern US, Maggie spent many years in Chicago building her acting and filmmaking career while unearthing herself and her creative center. She then relocated to NYC to pursue an MFA in Acting from the Juilliard School, where she honed her aesthetic and skills for directing live performances. With a dynamic professional and personal background, Maggie has a unique blend of emotional, logistical, and creative skills. She centers playfulness and determination in her collaborations to explore the disconcerting beauty of the pedestrian and the restless truths of the abstract.
