Mariana Trabanino
Miami Staff Writer
Mariana is a Hialeah native who just recently moved back since leaving “for good” in 2017. She spent her formative years at Wake Forest University, acting and writing for a comedy troupe like her mother always dreamed she would. After college, she moved to France to find herself, but she found roquefort instead. She spent her summers in St. Tropez as an au pair where she made sand castles and sipped on the best rosé known to the French Riviera. She still drinks rosé, only now it comes from the vineyards in the under $15 section at Publix.
