About

Marielle is an Associate Creative Director at MasterClass and the former Deputy Editor of Los Angeles magazine. She earned her MA in Professional Writing from the University of Southern California and her BA in English Literature from Miami University (the one in Ohio). Both degrees came in handy when she appeared on Wheel of Fortune. In other news, she went viral once (sorry, Whole Foods) and started a business where she comes up with punny wedding hashtags for couples in need. Some other places you can read/hear/see her: the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, ALTA Journal, California Sunday magazine, NPR, Cosmopolitan, KTLA, KPCC, and Relevant. Follow her on Instagram.
