After realizing her passion for helping Chicago actors, she interned at a talent agency and was soon hired on as an agent. Her former clients urged her to start her own agency, and in January of 2010 she opened Paonessa Talent Agency, LLC. Marisa believes in cultivating personal relationships, giving individual attention and helping guide her actors' careers. Over the years, she has built relationships with NY/LA casting directors, network executives and talent agencies/managers. She has booked actors as guest stars and series regulars (including booking an actor on Saturday Night Live every year for the past 3 years) as well as on Broadway, national tours & commercials. Along with her love for her actors, Marisa’s heart is with her 4 pound Maltese Mimi.
