Mara is an actress based in Los Angeles, CA. Originally hailing from the suburbs of Washington, DC. She holds a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with training from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting (New York) and Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (London).

Mara performs in all mediums - Film, TV and Stage. She appeared as Young Val in CASUAL on HULU and on season 3 of STARTUP (now out on NETFLIX). You can catch her right now in the LA Premiere of  AN OCTOROON running through Sept 19, 2021 - the inaugural production on the Fountain Theatre's outdoor stage and first Equity production to return in Los Angeles post pandemic.

Other notable stage work includes: the West Coast premieres of  THE JUDAS KISS at Boston Court Pasadena & SUCKER PUNCH with Coeurage Theatre Company, a site specific production. She was also in the inaugural Cino Nights in LA, a long standing New York theater tradition.

Along with acting, Mara has ventured behind the camera both directing and producing and has made several shorts that were featured in the festival circuit.

Mara also runs her own business, Your Audition Friend, which solves a very common actor problem: having an experienced and enthusiastic person to read lines with for auditions and record self-tapes.
