About Maile

A proud Pittsburgh native, Maile (MY-lee) is a NYC-based performer currently studying at The Institute for American Musical Theatre.

Although much of her training has centered around classical ballet, Maile grew up with an unwavering love for all kinds of art, performance and otherwise. Between balancing brick-and-mortar school with rehearsals, ear training, pre-professional instruction, music theory, musicals, and violin, flute, and piano lessons, she happily kept herself busy for much of her childhood.

She attributes her deep appreciation for the arts to both of her parents. None of her journey could have been feasible without their unwavering support. Having such a fantastic support system in and out of home has shown her how art accessibility, education, and logistics are vital to foster future generations of performers to come.



Empathy, inclusion, and diversity are practices Maile values and aims to promote within every creative work in which she finds herself. Growing up an Asian American woman, she has always seen the value in having spaces of collaboration that advocate for all. As she aspires towards having a career, she hopes to help others view representation as a powerful tool in the entertainment industry and beyond.
