I also love to help encourage and equip others into their own dreams and goals especially those in the film, tv and music industries. My dream was to be able to be a recording artist and actor alongside my family and we have been able to do that to this day. My next goal is to finish writing and producing a full length Christmas musical film. Anything is possible! Work hard, stay focused, live on purpose, and SHINE ON! "- Marika
