Mariesa Crouse began her acting career at a young age in Vancouver, Canada, booking numerous commercials that played around the world. By the age of 13, she was immersed in training, and ready to take on larger roles. After booking a lead role as Twin 2 in the award winning short film "The Letter Carrier", written and directed by Jesse L. Martin and Rick Cosnett, Mariesa began to believe that you can achieve anything you put your mind to - a rule she follows to this current day. Credits include Hallmark's finale season of "Chesapeake Shores" as Margaret Keller, "Just One Kiss" (Hallmark), "The Good Doctor" (ABC), "The Flash", "Riverdale" and "Legends of Tomorrow" (The CW) , "No Tomorrow" (Netflix), and "Freaky Friday" (Disney). Aside from acting, Mariesa is a model with several major campaigns in Canada for luxury clothing brands Aritzia and Oak + Fort. She is also a professional dancer with a repertoire including jazz, musical theatre, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, tap, acrobatics and ballet. In 2017, she achieved the milestone of joining Vancouver's top professional hip hop company "TwoFourSeven" and went on to win 3rd place at the VibeXXIII championship in California, 1st place at World of Dance, and were finalists for the "America's Got Talent" auditions. Mariesa has also worked in the world of choreography as a company manager for Canada's largest live exhibition, and as Assistant Choreographer for The CW's "Riverdale". Her dance training has contributed to the strong work ethic and determination needed to be an entertainer. Mariesa is a dual citizen holding two passports, and is able to work in both Canada and the US. Her truest inspiration is her Mom, who raised her and her two siblings as a single parent. She sees the strength, perseverance, agility and passion it takes for a woman to strive for success in any aspect they wish to achieve. She looks up to her older brother, a professional baseball player, like a father figure, and enjoys spending time with her family getting out of the Vancouver rain and watching late night baseball games, cheering him on.
