Marina Quintero

Marina is a Mexican-American comedy writer, born and raised in Pasadena. She was staffed on the Disney Channel's JUST ROLL WITH IT. She is a graduate of the 2019/2020 ABC Writers Program and has a background in stand up and theatre. She began her career as an actress and quickly realized she didn’t want to adhere to the stereotypical roles the industry set for her. Wanting to change the narrative for other underrepresented women, she decided she'd write for them. When Marina’s not in the writers room, she keeps busy raising her two year old daughter and telling jokes on stage about raising her two year old daughter. Her friends call her Mari and her mom calls her everyday. She answers to both.
