"Marissa's talent speaks for itself when she opens her mouth to sing. What I find most profound is her ability to connect with her audiences, students, and community.
That is a skill you cannot teach."

"I had the great honor and pleasure of partnering with Marissa on Bridge to Broadway, an award-winning, online educational platform we ran during the pandemic. This followed our collaboration on benefits for autism, as well as master classes she produced for me in New York and New Jersey. I love Marissa. Her shining spirit, determination, and persistence in the face of any obstacle make her an invaluable ally and indispensable friend."
