She studied voice with Marianne Challis and trained in music theatre performance at American University. AU Credits include Rosa Bud in The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Rapunzel in Into the Woods, and Pennywise in Urinetown.
After college, Maggie returned to the area and continued pursuing her love of theatre through Bridgeport Theatre Company (now Fairfield Center Stage), appearing as Joanne in Rent, Mayzie in Seussical, and Dragon in Shrek. Additional acting credits include Grace in Annie, directed by Frank Root, and Mrs. Pinkerton in Pinkalicious, both at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre, and Narrator in Murder Ballad at The Bijou Theatre, directed by Phillip Bettencourt.

Alongside her theatrical work, Maggie is an experienced ensemble and ceremonial singer. Her choral training includes singing in Catholic and Presbyterian church choirs, as well as secular choral and solo settings. She is frequently engaged as a soloist for weddings and funerals; bringing versatility, musical sensitivity, and a deep respect for the significance of these moments.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Maggie shifted her focus more fully toward live music and her singing career. She performs professionally with the bands Note to Self and Five to One and recorded and performed with Gregory Frost and the Dark Arts on the original album Paradise Lost, which debuted at Sacred Heart University’s Community Theatre. Additional collaborations include Generation Blues Band, Euphoria party band, and special guest appearances with Beyond the Wall, a premier Pink Floyd tribute band.
In addition to her performance career, Maggie has spent over two decades in arts education and administration and has taught private voice lessons for more than ten years. She is a proud mom of two. Whether onstage, in rehearsal, or in the studio; she is driven by connection, collaboration, and the expressive power of the human voice.
